Well, that's the garden forked!

However you want to spell it!
I got in yesterday for a time and ended up getting a load of apples off one of the trees. Plenty still to go and plenty on the floor! Lovely crisp eaters, it's blowing a barsteward this morning, so I expect all the rest will be on the deck now.
Might resurrect the press & make some apple juice/cider. I got rid of the still after the last lot of 'stuff' I distilled made me fall over and gave me a bad headache.

Anyway, still some carrots & celery to dig up then it's all done. Greenhouse nearly empty, just some beetroot left, but I reckon it's too cold to do any good now.
The electrics are nearly in, just need the last connection doing (cable 'just' doesn't reach as I had to slightly change the route - bugger.)
Every job takes five times as long as planned, plus we keep having to go to family birthdays - my sisters and Lynns Mum this week, that slowed last weekends progress down somewhat.

Fancy forking mine?

I'll tend to your lady garden if you ask me nicely

We are not allowed to put wind falls into the composting wheely bin bastard thing.

So I have to hide them under all the pizza boxes.

Why not use them?

You ain't poked me in ages so why should I ask you?

Because you're an uphill gardener?

No she isnt. I have removed my facebook account for a while. Stillon twatter though

Damn. I enjoy a good poking.

Sorry.......

I used to love forking over the garden, but I'd be totally forked if I tried to fork it nowadays 'cos me old body's forked!

More practise is what you need.

Aye, yer probably right but I'm too lazy these days.

After scattering bird seed over my borders in't summer, I was surprised to see that a couple of Sunflower seeds had germinated and grown into quite substantial, pretty plants - although they never quite reached the 'seeding' stage before dying back - so I plan to sow them over my borders much earlier next year and the wee birdies can feed from them before winter, plus they'll look much nicer than the thistles, docks and assorted weeds eh!

Some more nice wee plants, can anyone guess what they are?

They are red
