I had planned to burn brash this morning, but the wind is too strong at 30 Km/hr. I did tie up my tomatoes and was surprised to see fruits on the vines.
This month I want to burn as much aspen as I can, rotary hoe around the outside of the bed, and much of the inside of the bed. In-bed compost bins would claim as much as one-quarter of the space – perhaps too much.
As well I have plans to broaden the patch on Stephen's lot.
I started transplanting my second-generation cuttins at the southern end of the driveway bed.
I am thinking of planting pumpkins around the edge of my raised bed and training the vines to crawl across the grass.

I raked over the ashes, diverted a few twigs to the kitchen sink, assembled the logs.

In 30 of the 15 minutes I allowed to re-heat my lunch I set out five more 4-foot spaces for the second row of gooseberry shrubs, and came to the conclusion that I should dig up the next row and give away the shrubs. Sandra agreed to five shrubs so I loaded about thirty rooted cuttings and left them on her steps, with a runner-setter stick. Also a few dozen gooseberries that will fall off the cutting canes.

I dug up more potatoes, extracted three rhubarb clumps and stored them each in a bucket; burned the brash, and brought more house plants inside.

I believe that I have managed to regain my images missing from June-August and so can get back to building The Landfall Garden House Diary web pages.
