I did a mow on 3 and was very wet. I travel with a bucket to empty the bottom of the mower when it’s like this.

I cleared Bed 5 of the cucumbers and the wigwams. I uncovered a few little cucumbers, none of which were saving. I’ve left the nasturtiums to keep flowering.

The sunflowers in Bed 11 have gone now, so just nasturtiums and marigolds remain.

Bed 6 was the next to be cleared out and I took out weeds, candytuft and finished sunflowers. The garlic now has more room to grow in the spring.

The anise hyssop in Bed 6 are fairly healthy looking plants. The ones I had left in pots forever at home and then at the plot were still alive, but  completely pot bound. They do have small leaves coming at the base of the stalks though.    I managed to rip them apart to put some into Bed 6 and 3 into a big white pot.

I had a good variety of birds: goldfinch, long-tailed tit, dunnock, robin, great tit and magpie.
