And So, To Bed

Last weekend we got around to readying the garden for winter. Most of it anyway. We trimmed and re-tied the grape vines, cut back plants, dug up a few thistles, re-arranged the shed, stacked wood for bonfires – pretty much everything except raking leaves. The majority of the leaves were still on the trees, so it seemed pointless.

The basil was too far gone to dry any more, but I still had loads of thyme for drying. We also moved the asparagus. I hope it doesn’t suffer from the move, but it just wasn’t doing well where we had it.

Kieran dug up his peanut plant and found three peanuts. He’s looking forward to possibly getting more next year 🙂
