Short days and cold nignts

As the GHs empty of tomatoes I replant them with all sorts of stuff - often experimental to see whether they survive the winter - or not!

I'll do more clearing of ground and hacking back of brambles and weeds - it's easier to see what you're doing when the leaves have fallen............that's another job, raking up the leaves though I usually rake them off paths and onto beds as a mulch, rather than bagging them up for leafmould.

I'm toying with clearing the old chicken run where I dump the grass cuttings and compostables and either topping up some beds with it or filling builder's bags and containers ready for spring. On the other hand, I may just leave it where it is.

Once my neighbour has rebuilt his fence that blew down a couple of months ago, I may have a patio laid alongside it on the old rockery. It faces south and would be a nice place to sit out in the evening. 

I'll also dream up more nutty schemes and play about with seeds and seed packets and order more books.
