Scratting apples.

With a scratter:



And that's my next job in the garden in the background - cutting kindling as it's starting to get chilly over night.

 

oooh aah me lad. Zoider then is it?

 

I make cider, apple wine and pasteurise drinking juice, but this variety (scrounged enough windfalls for about 4 - 5 galls of juice) isn't suitable for cider or drinking juice (flavour's too overpowering by itself), but if blended with juice from other apples makes an excellent wine.

I'm beginning to notice/attract every wasp in the neighbourhood!

 

Finished work so cut the grass and tidied the borders and sprayed some aphid killer spray on my affected plants. buggers, I'll have nowt left soon!

 

Taken and potted a load of Choisya cuttings. Cleaned the last of the trays and pots, now stowed for next season. Iris seeds also under way in my electric propagator. Stripped tomato plants of the last of there leaves and watered them. I've also tidied up the greenhouse.

 

So far this morning I've watered my roses and washed out the propagator and some pots in readiness for some rose cuttings.

Trying to have a think about what else I want to take cuttings off - probably some Fuchsias, although I may overwinter a few plants indoors instead of taking cuttings. Decisions, decisions.

Oh and the lawn needs mowing but seeing as I am 'between jobs' I may do that tomorrow instead.

 

Well, I've just spent a good couple of hours repotting some of the nearly dead plants I bought the other day plus potting cuttings from an overgrown pink which I posted about recently.

I've gone through all of my seed packets, labelled 12 envelopes with the months written on them and "filed" the seed packets in the envelopes so I'll known what I should be planting and when.

Lawn mown - d17yo son did it for me so I hope that still counts

 

Ok

 

Fingers X'd for you fc
