October: the return of the winter constellations, the end of summertime. Our gardening and nights now drawing in. A time to gather seed.
A month to dig – or not, depending on your gardening style. We will turn over some of this year’s ‘new’ soil. See how it’s changed over summer. We’ll give the plot a rough tidy. Like my mum’s homemade haircuts. How we dreaded them.
