At last, the outside temperature is beginning to cool and gardening proper is slowly taking place. Hopefully the task of just keeping plants alive and watered is at an end for this year.
Considering my slow start to the summer gardening year, there were a couple of successes. Tomatoes, cucumbers and beans, all were acceptable.
This is one of the young tomatoe plants that proved to be a very sucessful producer, in spite of there being fewer bees this year for flower pollenating.
Now is time to choose our vegetable plantings for winter. Also flower plants, companion plants, are all in the mix. I find the changing of seasons with new plants, quite enjoyable.
New garden bed last created winter.
This gives an account of where I am at, as far as gardening is concerned. However, there are other projects that need attention. DIY and my workshop, both of these depend upon the workshop being put back into a tidy condition.
As most project and maintenance jobs are carried out in the workshop, getting it back into a tidy workable space, has to be my primary task.
Age 79 years, married 48 years, wife Marilyn, who, is now my carer as well. My means of getting around is a power-chair. Consequently, all of the tools that I require for most DIY tasks are maintained at chair level. Multiple Sclerosis is the cause of my challenges, and has proven to be a demanding taskmaster.
