Planting the last brassicas and cutting down raspberries

Friday 3rd November
I had just ten plants left to plant, five 'Durham Early' cabbages and five 'All Year Round' cauliflower. There was no room left in the net tunnel I was using for winter/spring brassicas so they had to go in the one I want to move as soon as the Brussels sprouts are done. I shall have to be careful moving the tunnel and net them separately afterwards. I raked the mulch clear of a strip and planted them firmly with a good dose of lime in the planting hole.

​As you can see from the above photo it was dusk when I had finished but I had witnessed another beautiful sunset.

​I had cut down the raspberries. Not the autumn ones but the summer ones which I am going to grub out and replace when those I have ordered arrive.

​It took me a long time to cut the canes down and then cut to lengths ready to dispose of. I had finished in almost total darkness and locked the gate as I left assuming no-one else was mad enough to still be on site.
