Autumn tidying continues 🍂🍁🍃

 Tomato and Sweet Pepper plants out .....except for one Sweet Pepper which still has a few fruits on .

Start bringing back in the Cacti from the front porch and any less hardy succulents  , Agaves to go under the bench. Gave it a good sweep out . So many cobwebs ! 

Then Ricardo announced that he wanted me to take all the plants out of the shed because he had to do a few maintenance jobs on it .

This was an incredibly scary job . More cobwebs and spiders 🕷️ I had to close my eyes as I carried out trays and plants  🕷️ 

The polystyrene under the bench will be used in the unheated greenhouse to stand and surround precious plants on , during the cold winter months . I have my trusty roll of insulation stuff to unroll along the rafters and car windscreen frost screens to fix up along the North side of the greenhouse too .

The lantern and candles are also waiting in the wings .  I didn't use the lantern much last winter , but for me , it is wise to have it there ...just in case .

Also a pile of newspaper sheets to throw over plants on cold evenings .

Still under the bench to clear out . Just want it a bit tidier and enough space for two chairs by the table .

We had to fill in the ends of the window fittings to stop little birds coming in .The window frame doesn't go properly to the end of the shed building . It's usually the clever little Blue Tits ; they come in to shelter for the night , but they are not clever enough to remember how to get out again . It's o.k. I am up there everyday to let them out . 

I will be happy when Ricardo blocks up these holes .

Also the window glass wasn't the right size for the window frame and there was a quarter of an inch gap all along the top .

This had really puzzled me , and then one year there was a thin line of snow all along the inside on the bench . We rarely get snow so I hadn't noticed it before then . 

         As for the window , I daren't open it , in case it should fall off ! 

Apart from all that , it's quite a nice little shed . 

     🌧️ Hopefully it will get through yet another stormy Cornish Winter .🌩️🌧️

                  This side is much better now .  

    

                                           💐Good enough for me anyway 💐 

I gave the purple Tradescantia a trim .

Found a damaged bag of compost reduced to £3.00 .  All ready and waiting for starting my vegetable seeds next year .🌱🌱🌱

I gave everything a good drink of nice fresh rain water from the now refilled water barrels .

                                    Tasty strawberries are still coming !

           I love this time of the year best of all . Early Autumn . My favourite time .

     Wishing you a relaxing weekend . Make time for yourself and do something that you love . 

        Something that eases all your worries and brings some gentle happiness .

                           Thinking of you , hugs . Debbie x
