There was a big harvest today, with lots of tomatoes, some pears, and the remaining onions. The beds are like dustbowls really, so they certainly need feeding. I’m not digging up the potatoes just yet as the haulms haven’t completely died down.

I did a lot of cutting down in Bed 1 and pulled up almost all the corn marigolds. In turn they shed their seeds everywhere, so when they inevitably come up next year, I’ll pull them up or dig them in as green manure.

My millet is coming along nicely, but not ready to harvest yet.

There was a damselfly over the pond for a while. There’s been loads of rain, but it’s still not done much to the earth or the water level in the pond.
