spent most of the day pulling up the rest of the potatoes that didn't get done a month ago! it was a glorious day - went out wearing several layers and thick socks, ended up wearing my sun hat! I knew it would be a long job (it's also an opportunity to pull out loads of stones/broken pottery/etc from that area of the garden) and by the time i got down to molly i really didn't have the energy to do anything much with her!
so i just loose schooled her round the arena, which happily has been rolled etc .. doesn't stop it being deep, but it's a huge improvement on where it had got to! think she was the first horse in there since it was done last week.
the midges were still out in force as well, clouds of them...i'd have thought the overnight cold would have done for them by now, but no such luck!

Bugs seem to find ways to survive the cold. You'd think they'd freeze sooner...our little gnats seem to be doing just fine too.
Yummy potatoes. Nice to have for the winter, but a lot of hard work. Glad you got them all out.
mmm, I could do with a good garden springclean, glad you got the taters sorted.
Not surprised you didn't feel like doing much with Molly, hope you're not too achey today!
Fall gardening chores. They are on my list too...I hate midges!!
