Digging Around

I've been busy in the garden this morning, collecting sweet pea and Godetia seeds to be kept till spring in little brown envelopes; turning over the compost heap and shovelling it between bins; digging up Gladiolis for dry winter storage; pulling out weeds, clumps of grass and dried-up flowers; damping-down the greenhouse floor to help out the aubergines; emptying hanging baskets; and planting daffodil bulbs ten-centimetres down along the back-garden borders.
