This is my third day of what appears to be Man Flu!  Poor Kato is not happy with my long lie in and even his daily walks shortened to some degree. I have cancelled all my gym workouts, and done a covid test which is negative , thank goodness.  Yesterday I even lit the woodburner as I was shivering. Hopefully norml service will be resumed as soon as possible as this cough is doing my head in!

I sowed spring cabbage seeds, planted some rooted cuttings of Golden and Purple Sage. Potted up several different named mints as I'm trying to keep them contained and separate.
Pulled up the Wautoma cucumber plants as the leaves had turned yellow and crispy. That's the end of the 2022 cucumbers unless I sow some more?

^^^and very generous prizes. BTW P thinks The Boss is wonderful, I think they may be long lost brothers, although P has a good deal less energy than The Boss and far fewer wheelbarrows

'Pruned' trees, i.e. cut any branches of birch, weeping willow, apple and conker trees overhanging ours or ours overhanging others. Then shredding them. Cleaned out this years compost bin into bags to make way for the stuff we're cutting up. I have vague plan to sieve the compost and make my own potting stuff for next year. I'm not that confident it will be good enough but quite honestly anything is better than the peat free stuff I bought this spring. It just didn't hold any moisture.
