Garden – September 2023

24/09/2023 Leave a comment

September, the watershed month. The end of Summer and the beginning of Autumn. However, in the Lovely Lower Rhymney Valley, it was marked by a heatwave and it was out with the watering can again. It lasted about ten days and then it was back to sunshine and showers but at least it was warm. The Summer Onion Sets arrived and I have planted them in five pots already, so I’m well ahead of schedule. I had my first Crimson Crush Tomatoes and Cucumbers from the garden during the month. The rest of the Bush Tomatoes and the Peppers are still a month behind but I have high hopes for them as long as we don’t get a frost. Indoors, the Lemon Basil is still doing well and I am now into the Spring Onions.

Wet but Warm.

Well, August 2023 was officially in Autumn. Rainy, grey and with a couple of named storms as well. Still, lots of positives, less use of the watering can. Potatoes from the garden. Lots of mint and Lemon Basil. Four Crimson Tomatoes and an ever growing lawn. All the Peppers are planted on and the Tomato Bushes are coming on well. Need more compost for the soon to be arriving Autumn Onion Sets. It’s Harvest Home.

August is Autumn

The washout that is July 2023 however, it means that there was less use of the watering and a cheaper water bill. The Peppers and Bus Tomatoes are about 6 weeks behind but they are growing well. The Crimson Crush are large but still green. I’s good to come home from work and pick Lettuce Leaves, Mint, Lemon Basil and Summer Onions. The Casablanca (First Earlies) have been making excellent chips and there are still a lot of them in bags. August, it’s looking very much like July. The Great British Summer.

Actually in August

Well, it may not be a full on drought but there has been an awful lot of watering can use during the month. I’ve had to reseed the tomatoes and peppers. They are now coming through but I’m a month behind. Two Crimson Crush’s have already been planted out. The lawn is turning rather brown despite some overnight rain showers. I think my first planted Casablancas will be lifted soon as they are dying back. Had some home grown Lemon Basil and Radishes and they were both excellent. My Salad leaves are back to front with the later planted being well ahead of the earlier planted. Send more rain?
