Gardening on Monday

Today it's time to do a big clearout from the summer growing season  we have potato bags to turn out, tomato plants to tidy up and eggplants.  

Started out with the potato bags:


We turned out the bags and were rewarded with a nice little crop:

  

I decided the lemongrass was a little too big for the bedroom window and from 4 sticks we got all this fresh lemongrass:



Very nice!  The greenhouse was in a bad state with a tomato plant out of control and 3 Thai eggplants that had not performed at all well this season.  I decided to take them out early and open up the space for the plants that are growing well.  This is the before picture:


With all that work complete we called it a day and went to sit in the pub garden.  Lovely mon!
