Quite a bit of clearing and weeding today. I disturbed a bees nest at one point (maybe Carder bees) and had to beat a hasty retreat, though they didn't seem overly unhappy with me. The weeds and clearings from today have been piled up to hopefully become composting paths as that will be far more sustainable for me than wood chips.
I've also raised my squash off the ground with a variety of flat stones, a microwave turntable, and various pots. Accidentally snapped one off. It's fully ripe but would have been better on the plant a bit longer and won't store well with the really short stem it now has.
I've also sown a few seeds: winter radishes, a last sowing of summer radishes, calendula, lettuce, and mustard. I have some more sowing to do this Autumn but ran out of time today. I haven't watered them and am just hoping we get some rain in the next couple of days.
