A dull and cool day for August


Just a few bits of sunshine on Monday. The temperature didn't quite make 17°C and the wind was still blustery but not as strong as yesterday.
After the rain of the last few days I thought it was time I turned my attention to cultivating one or two beds on the plot, some to prepare for autumn planting and others to be tidied up ready to be left over winter. The rain hadn't made much difference to the condition of the soil which surprising dug pretty well but was bone dry underneath the surface.
Progress is now underway at clearing our old strawberry beds. Two beds have been cleared and dug and a start made on clearing the third. At least the cooler August weather is good for undertaking rather more energetic jobs on the plot than just harvesting.

Just a note on my harvesting page(s) as I’ve now improved the pictures as clicking on the picture now opens a full size image allowing our harvests to be seen with all their blemishes. This only works from August page 2 and onwards.
