I woke up this morning to a garden I would have to describe as “foggy”. Taking a quick and slightly chilly wander, I noticed webs everywhere, telling me that the spiders know it’s September too. It has since warmed up and it’s now 20C, but even so I get the feeling autumn is on the way.
The main job on the agenda for today was to plant up a lot of pots with a variety of veg and ornamentals. The idea is to show that you don’t need a large veg patch in order to grow something edible. One pot, some compost and some seed is all you need. All of our newly planted pots will be travelling down to Clarence House in London for the START Garden Party, a 12 day festival to promote sustainable living. Garden Organic will be encouraging people to put their used coffee cups to good use – pot up one of our seedlings and take it home to grow on!
Things are starting to calm down a bit in the gardens now. There’s no longer the feeling that watering is a full time job, and the weeds are (sort of) back under control, but the fruit and veg is still coming in strong. We’re on to apples now – in fact I’m looking at three crates and a shopping basket full of them sitting in our office right now. Needless to say they won’t last long.
