Elephants' ears are beginning to flower beautifully but the leaves, every last one, have been eaten. Bloody muntjac!
But then, I wanted a wildlife friendly garden, hence I am getting the wildlife, which is satisfying. Ah well …

I harvested our #pumpkins a few days ago. Grown from #seed, they are #UchikiKuri.

Mulched beds, borders and (young) shrubs and trees. Exhausted now and all of our own #compost used up. Vegetable garden mulched a couple of weeks ago already. In all I had about ¾ of a cubic metre of compost. Not enough.

Have not had these before: #Geastrum , a #fungus called #Earthstar . Probably a good sign of a healthy, #biodiverse #garden - always exciting to find something new. Not sure, which variety. Maybe someone can help.

Surprising how quickly the first herb harvest of the year comes around. Air drying herbs is the best way to preserve them. From right to left: Lovage, Greek oregano (x 2), Savoury, Marjoram and Moroccan mint.

Internal temperature of my compost heap this morning, after cold nights and much rain, just over 45°C. Happy with this at this stage.
On the surface grass cuttings from a week ago, cuttings from the garden, deadheads and kitchen 'waste', such as vegetable cuttings, peanut shells, egg shells and coffee grounds.

I compost almost everything from the garden, including weeds, plus vegetable 'waste' from the kitchen, coffee grounds and egg shells.
On the left, one of the composting bays now. Mostly brown material still. By autumn this should be beautiful compost.
On the right, ready compost from last year.
