James Grieve update


The James Grieve tree collapsed during the summer.  The new growth looks fine but the old branches are covered in something nasty.


I cut off what was the top of the tree, but was leaning to one side, leaving the new growth.  This new growth is sprouting from a part of the trunk which looks diseased and has bark missing, so the disease may eventually spread.


Houttuynia Cordata update

One of the pots of Houttuynia Cordata looks a bit poorly.  Not sure what happened there, as the other pot is ok.

While clearing up in the garden today I dug this up.  Don't know what it is, but I potted it up.

Containers update


Cyclamen flowers fading now.

Chrysanthemum update


Flowers fading now.

Green manure update



Growth is still a bit patchy.  Next year I need to sow more seed.

This year's spud crop finally consumed

The last of this year's spud harvest was eaten today, so I was self-sufficient in spuds from 10 July to 23 November.  Not bad.
