LHL Update
Endless rain these last few days…
The wind has died for now, but according to the forecast will pick up again after tomorrow and be ever present through the weekend to come.
Looking out of the window at the trees slowly turning yellow and russet, the leaves clinging on barely in the storms…
Ground is absolutely saturated, the bare-root apples arriving at some point in the next couple of weeks – so hopefully we might have a bit of an Indian Summer to enable getting them in their positions without drowning.
I have 5 shots remaining on a roll of Kodak Ektar in the Mamiya C220. Hoping to get out and use these on some of the leaf colour. I’m behind with scanning though, still have the scanned France images to process and yet to start those from the five rolls of already developed Canada images (6 more rolls from Canada yet to develop in colour and three in B&W.)
Managed to get in around ten 100l sack loads of seaweed for the veg and fruit bush beds. The veg beds mulched to about 30cm deep and then covered with a weed suppresent material weighed down with rocks for the winter – worms should be having a field day under there..! Also mulched directly the Blueberries and Blackcurrants. The Blackcurrants will be mulched again in the spring, but need to be careful in not raising the pH too much for the Blueberries – they like it acidic.
