RE: 2023 - What I did today - Veggie - 09-11-2023
Scattered all my old parsnip seeds in a random patch, alongside a couple of parsnips sown randomly last year.
Rain & hail stopped play!

He had parsnip seeds in a draw from around the first world war date so knowing tha parsnips seeds have a short shelf life Dad just scattered them over the garden! I think every one must have germinated!

Did some weeding, picked another Czar bean pod that wasn't quite crispy, they're very slow to ripen or I was very slow to sow them! Pulled some weeds out of the paviours in the front drive - I have to do it little by little as I get sidetracked by another weed and lose my place. (Makes sense to me).

I actually got in the garden yesterday afternoon after taking Zebedee (the car) for a very successful test drive and booking her (him?)for one of the safety tests Saturday morning. I cut down tuberous begonias and lifted them ino the garage for winter storage. We were due a frost, and got one. Picked the last gh tomatoes and cleared the gh of vegetation. Pulled up the last trombas and courgettes (trombas last better in the cold than courgettes they wer still growing). Swept and tidied the patio of moss the weather and blackbirds had chucked off the roof. Boy oh boy was it nice to get back in the garden. Next job will be raking up all the masses of copper beech leaves.

I will look into it further once I get a bit of time. Have you got one of these veggie you can personally recommend?

Got down to the plot for the first time in weeks. We've been busy and ill for so long :/ but I went by myself to dig up dahlias (which hadn't been frosted yet) and gladioli, sow some broad beans, and tidy a bit. Gave away the last of my beetroot, harvested my two and a half fennel, and grabbed some nasturtium seeds and dried beans.

Picked some rhubarb that had snapped off in the wind. Shame to waste it. Cooked it ready for tomorrow's breakfast!
Took cuttings of Taunton Deane perennial kale. The parent plants were cuttings I was given earlier this year.
Uprooted some blackberry suckers that were spreading in the ditch. They came up quite easily as the ground is so wet.
Drained the Hotbin liquid into a container and topped up the bin with more greens and shredded paper. Shredded some more junk mail ready for the next top-up.
