Culled old, then planted new, courgette plant. Picked the last of the summer raspberries or maybe they were early autumn ones. The majority of the autumn raspberries are rapidly forming up. Picked blueberries, not very many as one of my two bushes died and the remaining one is looking a bit sad. Stamped on a few snails, like everyone else I'm suffering from too many slugs and snails. Stirred the top foot of the compost, not doing an already dodgy shoulder any good at all. Picked a load of toms. A bit of desultory weeding and deadheading. That was yesterday. Today I plan to plant yet another courgette. Perhaps dig out some MT dried up plants to finish drying. Weed and harvest. Harvesting can take so long, far longer than I anticipate, the same with planting out stuff. The thought 'oh, that'll probably take me an hour at most' turns out to be most of the morning in reality. Time management and spacial perception are perhaps not my strongest traits. .....am I bothered?
