Access to this plot was at early September; chose to scatter a lot of mustard seed for green manure and to over-winter preparation ready for next spring.

I intended to leave the mustard for much longer, but lucky it hadn't gone to seed; hence, I have trimmed it all down with lawn shears to provide a lovely protective blanket for the soil that will mulch and decompose, ready to dig in four months!

As had to overcome the rain, arms are hurting somewhat now!

First three images show the plot as I received it; fourth is around three weeks into development. Before and after, the last six pictures are from this afternoon twelve weeks later.
