 My soil contains sufficient clay to form these smooth shapes |
This week has brought a lot of rain. With lower temperatures 'to boot' the garden has reached that 'tipping point' where the soil is too wet to work on. Any work with rake or cultivator turns it to mud.
I can only hope for an extended spell of drier days that may allow me to do a few outstanding jobs. I can now look forward to jobs like pruning fruit, moving a few shrubs, paving stones and putting in a few posts.
The wormery is very active!

Note: while many garden centers promote herbaceous perennials and shrubs during their summer blossoming, that is in not a good time to move bare rooted plants. But now is a good time to plant new shrubs. See transplanting shrubs on the Organic Gardener.
