Tidying the Herb Garden and Greenhouse

 

I couldn't sleep last night . I have a lot on my mind . Tossing and turning . I finally threw myself out of bed at 4.30 am , got dressed , made myself a nice cuppa tea and went for a walk around the garden.

All the stuff for the new workshop and woodshed has arrived and the men will be coming to build it next week I think .

Anyway , so we are still in the process of emptying the old workshop and the rule is that if you are going past the workshop , then you have to take something out of there with you on the way .

So I grabbed a few more bits and walked on up, to put them into the small shed up by the greenhouse .

Deep in thought , I pulled up a nettle from the herb garden and the next thing I knew , I had filled this tub to overflowing ......

......and pulled the weeds from the cracks in the path ....

...... I carried on and filled the big pink wheelbarrow  !

Then I opened up the greenhouse and began a big tidy up of the Tomatoes , cucumbers and sweet peppers . They all did remarkably well in the greenhouse and I have been picking bowlfuls everyday , morning and evening . I have a ton of tomatoes in the freezer now and am very thankful .

They are now coming up to the tatty stage and I decided to really thin them out down to just the remaining few healthiest looking vines .

Still lots of green tomatoes coming .

Another large pile of withering leaves .

I have been quite ruthless . It means there is more space and light for the Sweet Peppers .

                                     Sweet Pointed Peppers from saved seed .

It has been so nice to work in the garden in more comfortable temperatures this morning .

Poached egg on cheese on marmite on toast and another nice cuppa tea .

Aching now but happy ....putting my feet up !
