Slaughtering the George

The "George" is courgette that we let grow to full size and store over winter for the seeds for the next year. The slaughter is now a regular event.

We're a little later this year because, as some of you may have noticed, winter is hanging on tooth and claw, despite it now officially being spring. But we still managed to get a good load of seeds from this year's George.

Last week however, I was busy down the plot. I have now built all of the remaining beds needed (though I have yet to get them all in place). And I also put up a flower arch in The Wife's raised flower bed...

... and made a start building some flower troughs...

When the weather starts to warm up and Spring finally decides to emerge from under Winter's skirts, I'll get round to fitting the newly made beds into the new patch and filling them with the spare spoil from the old courgette mound.

So long as it's not raining that is...
