After a week away from the shed, the bind weed came in through the window and started using the shafts of the hoes and spades to climb up.
Today is the last day of August, the last of the summer months. There should still be plenty of good weather to enjoy here, but part of me is pleased to slow down as the frantic pace of a hot, wet summer of growing eases off.
There is still plenty to do in the vegetable plot. The cucumbers and courgettes are rioting. The pumpkins have been slow to set fruit, but four whoppers are now growing in an absolute jungle of leaves and runners. Unlifted potatoes are starting to sprout and must be dug up and curly kale seedlings need thinning for winter growth. The patient parsnips have been growing all summer and a few sweet potato plants have crawled between everything, their tubers waiting for discovery.
But they can wait.
Autumn will be here soon enough.
I think I’ll let the bind weed wind round the spades a little longer.
A most enjoyable post and lovely pictures. I’m thankful that autumn, and cooler, weather is here and I can resume plotting. xx

I agree! Hot sunny weather is the meteorological equivalent of shouting and I am looking forward to some peace and quiet!
