In some ways this is a quiet time on the plot, because there is only a few jobs to get on with.
There is picking, weeding and watering most of the time, with a bit of transplanting and sowing, but nothing like the last three or so months. It is a time when you can sit back and enjoy the plot.

As you pick crops they come to an end and finish producing, then the area is cleared and unless you have a second crop for that piece of land it lies empty or you can use it for something else. If it is left empty not only does it look a mess but little things like weeds tend to take over!

The flower beds need some attention now as the flower heads are dying and need removing to keep them tidyand looking good.
