Meagre Harvest
We’ve had a couple of good frosts this week, and they pretty much did it for the zucchini, pumpkin and butternut-squash plants, so we harvested what was there. Two pumpkins and a single butternut. Oh well!
Bit of a shame though there were quite a few more butternuts just starting to grow. And actually, if I remember rightly the pumpkins were actually meant to be butternuts too. Oh well. We’ll try again next year.
But getting rid of those expansive plants at least let us weed the “paths” between the garden “plots” for the first time in some months, and get that plot ready to take some attempts at winter growing. No doubt we’ll let you know how that goes too.
And we have to admit to being pretty exhausted this evening after clearing about half of the remaining pile of stones and given more “lawn” a cut. Still not quite cleared what we see as the house plot, but we’re getting there. Maybe by the end of the week. Maybe. If we can move off our chairs again. Everything hurts!
