Emptied the last of one compost bin into the barrow for the veg garden and then turned the other three - number four (a dalek, only for storage really) and number three are both just about ready to use so everywhere should get a good mulch this year.
Mr PP cut the wild flower meadow as nearly everything had finished and the brambles, bindweed and blackthorn always try to get a toe-hold in late summer. We have what was once a bare clay bank where the platform was cut out to build the house and we've been dumping the meadow grass on the next bit to be planted - this autumn's task, so I need to get planning!
Weeded the roots bed, pathetic number of carrots but the parsnips aren't too bad, and also the new globe artichoke bed - I planted out 20 plants and the voles have eaten all but seven. When the cat asks to spend tonight on the duvet he will be firmly put outside! (He'll then come in though the flap and cry outside the bedroom door until one of us lets him in!)
