An hour's trip today with two main intentions, firstly to get some of the plot dug over (now that it has stopped raining a bit!) and also to tie up the loganberry canes to the frame on the side of the shed.
Rich did the digging for me, as I can no longer manage it, and dug the large bed 6, and the smaller bed 5, both of which are now completely empty.
Bed 4 still has parsnips in for digging and eating through the winter.
Bed 3 has leeks and celeriac.
Bed 2 had (until today) the remains of the broccoli and cauliflower and the leeks and garlic
Bed 1 has rhubarb and herbs.
The Loganberry was cut down in time for the bonfire at the beginning of November, and the new growth was left to flop until I had time and energy to tie it up again. Well today was the day. It took about an hour, with a small amount of prickling, to wind all the long canes into the wire frame that's on the shed. I had to sacrifice several bits as they had grown into the compost heap, some bits had rooted where they fell, so they had their ends chopped off and were then tied in as normal. All in all it was a fairly neat job, as loganberry goes.
Ed, of course, dug a hole, which then got levelled by his dad as it was in bed 5!
