1 June   – Composting and peastrawing of Beds 2 & 3 was completed.
             – Moved the compost from one bin to the next so that bin 1 is empty and ready for refilling.

4 June  – Harvested brussel sprouts, leeks, yams, potatoes and 3 Granny Smith apples from a young tree.
            Sprayed nectarines and peaches with copper oxychloride (hopefully to prevent leaf curl – the nectarines are badly effected each year).

6 June  – Cut back the asparagus.

10 June – Removed the seeds from all of the oil seed pumpkins (27 of them).  This gave me 2.7kg of wet seeds (1.63kg of roasted seeds).  I rinsed the seeds and then roasted them in the oven at 100°C for 90 minutes.  They were cooled on the bench.

11 June – Moved 12 butternut squash to the larder for winter.  There is still one in there from last winter.   Another 4 from this autumn were going rotten – I chopped these and made them into soup.
             – I spread manure sludge on to the asparagus, strawberries, artichokes (in the paddock, not the garden) and the lemon tree.  This used all of the sludge from 2 of the 3 manure bins.  I poured the liquid from 1 into the other, this leaves 1 bin empty for refilling and 1 full of liquid for use in spring and summer as fertiliser.  The sludge in the 3rd bin will be used next autumn/winter.
             – This means that the garden is almost ready for winter!  The only job remaining for the beds inside the fence is to spread pea straw on the asparagus bed.
