    Shed roof garden maintenance

    The roof garden on my shed needs sorting out, a lot of giant daisies grew this year and while they looked nice at the time, their dead remains need trimming.

    It’s not too difficult with a ladder, but some areas required a bit of climbing about on my fence.

    Once trimmed I moved some random bulbs I had in planters and tipped the remains of the planters on the roof to add some more soil.

    There’s quite a lot of different plants up there, some I didn’t put there. Also found a few small trees trying to grow and snipped their shoots off.

  • Weeding and tidying

    Now we’re harvesting the various crops that have been growing, it’s a good time to do some tidying.

    After harvesting all the potatoes, I’ve dug the bed over ready for next year. At some point I’ll throw some fertiliser on it, and let the weather have a go at it too.

    It’s also been a chance to tidy up the piles of plant pots and boxes allotments seem to accumulate.

    And then finally some weeding to help the corn and beans keep growing.
