Weekend-only gardening, the small raised bed garden has also turned into autumn. It's time to tidy up the cherry tomatoes and prepare for autumn-winter vegetables. We need to do it quickly, or else we won't make it in time! I feel rushed, but on the other hand, the weeds are still growing vigorously.
Where should I start...
The cherry tomatoes still have a few fruits, so I don't feel like pulling them all out. So I looked for reference on Monty Don's Instagram.

Here is the photo of the tomatoes.

He also does hanging cultivation, leaving only the last fruits of the tomatoes and removing all the leaves. His garden is large like a park, divided into meadow garden, formal garden, and vegetable garden. He also calls his meadow garden a paradise garden. It's wonderful, isn't it?
As for leaf mold, I mix vegetable scraps and coffee grounds into the fallen leaves to make leaf mold. Regarding coffee grounds, there is some research material from UCC Ueshima Coffee Co., Ltd. and Kindai University Faculty of Agriculture.

My method is self-taught, but if you take some time to make leaf mold, I think coffee grounds are effective. When I had a lot of coffee grounds, there were many good worms (clean little worms).
Now, the back part of this garden was used as a parking space, so it's covered in gravel. I didn't like that, but I found out that there is a genre called gravel garden that uses gravel.
I'm adopting this immediately!
Just say it's a gravel garden and act calm.
Yes, if it's overgrown with grass, it can be a meadow garden; if it's more neglected, it can be a wild garden; if it's full of gravel, it can be a gravel garden.
Let's do that!
For the elegant and relaxing time in the evening, I prepared TORRAS' aroma diffuser.
This is an aroma humidifier that can also be used as indirect lighting.

With its round and cute shape and pink gold button, you can relax with the gentle mist of a soothing scent. It can also be used with commercially available essential oils, so it seems helpful for the upcoming dry season.
For some reason, it gives a reassuring feeling, more like a pet than an object.
Well then, I hope everyone enjoys the refreshing autumn.
