Clearing and cleaning


Today is predicted to be hot. I needed to start clearing away all the summer plants, weed and top up with compost 
As you can see. Even though I had started , note  the pile on the lawn. It was still a nightmare 



 I had to be careful not to pull up the asparagus while clearing the self seeded tomatoes 

They had overgrown into the basil and over the rhubarb and strawberries 




It was hard work so I enlisted the help of hubby who cleared away the piles of greenery. Some to the chickens, and some to the stock. 

Of course while clearing we found over sized zucchini’s and other squash. They also have been cut up and feed to them 

I’m now indoors with a cool glass of water resting. 
I’m very glad we have leftovers for dinner.

  1. Aahh those oversized zucchinis. I found one the other day. A veritable marrow. An Afghani guest present at the time of discovery was delighted to take it home. Your patch is already looking refreshed.

  4. Zucchini are VERY clever at hiding themselves so they can grow to GIGANTIC proportions!
