Ahead of some more days of rain and scattered showers, I managed to get down to the plot after work to mow. I did a 3 and then 2. The edges need strimming now too. The whole plot has a very autumnal look to it, with fading plants, but still a fair amount of orange and yellow flowers.

A few mole hills are appearing here and there again, in the car park and in the plot. There’s one in Bed 1 now, among the multiple new seedlings and the rudbeckia that have worked this year.

There are loads of seedlings in the front border all of a sudden too. I have no idea what they are – probably nigella. I can see candytuft and cerinthe too. Since I’m still not quite set on what to do here, they can stay for at least a while. It might be that I just fill the area with seed to overwinter, put in some anise hyssop and call it done.
