7th October ~ Incessant rain.

8th October ~ A dry morning. Moving trays of bulbs inside as they are in danger of rotting with all the rain.

9th October ~ So much rain. Not possible to do very much at all. Marshland in the duck run.

10 October ~ Making good progress in the front bed. Removing many weeds plus few plants which are too big or not interesting enough. Should be possible to make the new path soon and add planting. Pruning buddlejia makes a big difference, the space it takes up is huge.

Removing cucumber plants from greenhouse. Sadly they had suffered from mildew and were not producing much any more. Space is needed for seedlings and bulbs.
