<p>I did undertake a deep clean of the double oven (gas) a few years ago but I thought it was time to get a professional to give it a good going over. They took the doors off and cleaned everything. It does look very clean.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I don't particularly like the oven for a number of reasons. It doesn't indicate when it's up to temperature so I have considered replacing it. I'll leave it to get dirty again before thinking about that.</p>

<p>Out in the back corner of the garden I came across this little chap scuttling about near the compost heap. Although nocturnal I think they are trying to fatten up as much as they can, ready for winter.</p>

<p>After a good summer of colour the bedding plants in the various pots needed refreshing. I always feel safe with pansies and cyclamen.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>They will need a week or two before they fill out the space provided the local squirrels don't dig them up. Twenty-four hours after planting them there were several pansies that had to be replanted.</p>

<p>Autumn is upon us and I've started organising the strawberry bed. It has been over run by borage plants so rather than try to weed them out I've decided to dig up the whole bed and move the strawberry plants to the back of the bed.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Helene suggested I cover the empty space with black plastic in the hope the borage won't grow back. The roots go a long way down and snap off very easily so any small pieces of root will probably try to grow through.</p>
