    I was meant to be raking leaves but the weather's dismal. :sad: Slow cooked stewing steak for tomorrow's meat pie and spent the afternoon sewing.

        If the wind continues to stay away I may have another bonfire this evening.

                  I've been cutting back the Lavender in pots and the border in the garden. I'll have to use a Hedgecutter for the Lavender hedge at the front of the House as it takes too long and too much effort to cut it back with Secateurs. The paths and patio were getting covered in plant debris so I've done some clearing and half filled a large sack reading for going in the Compost Bins which are getting seriously full. After that I did some moving of pots on the Patio to make more space and make them look as organised as possible. Still got the two bucketfulls of Tulips and Daffs to plant in the borders while trying to work out where the recently bought Hardy Perennials are going to be placed in the cleared areas of the borders......and I've still got 225 differents sorts of Alliums and a couple of hundred Crocus to find space for:dunno::cat-kittyandsmiley::coffee:

                      Spent the afternoon moving more pots of tender plants into the polytunnel. Some of the bigger pots have been put under the canopy to dry out a bit before moving them to the tunnel - no point in shifting excess weight of water too far.

                      My wife did comment that she was surprised at how many pots were still out - not half as surprised as me who was humping them about.

                      Shuffled a few plants into bigger pots including a brug and canary island date palm.

                      Then decided to risk cutting the lawn. We had a bit of drizzle but not enough to stop the job.

                      Had a reasonably productive weekend although theres still lots left to do.

                              I've been carrying on the mass fuchsia cut down.
                              I had major Gall Mite this year so I'm cutting all my fuchsias down to the ground, removing all debris and even scraping some of the soil away from around each plant.

                              I'm not overwintering any of my potted ones in my greenhouse in the hope a good cold spell will kill the gall mite off.

                              I've still got a couple more to do then I'm getting my petrol vac out and removing all the dropped leaves on my gravel path.
                              I'm also considering spraying the soil, around each plant, with dilute Jeyes fluid.
