It’s that time of the year again – to clean up the veggie patch after the season ends.

This year I had a total of around 300 tomatoes (big and small), six cucumbers (mostly very large ones) and then it all ended with a whole heap of mulch and mess to clean up.

I have some lovely bunches of basil that I’ve put into a couple of pots – making the veranda smell amazing. That will definitely be used used for cooking over the next few weeks.

During the cleanup process, I also found three more strawberry plants that were growing quietly on runners. They’ve been divided up into individual plants and put into a pot – one of the stand-up pots. These stand-up pots had quite a bit of sun damage, are quite brittle and are just breaking up so they’re probably going to end up in the bin after this.

On another note, the fig tree has fully rejuvenated fully and it’s looking quite healthy so maybe there will be a “saving the fig tree part 3” soon 🙂
