Winter is coming
This time of the year when the growing season is coming to an end and the evenings are drawing in and the frost and rain and wind are just around the corner; it is time to put the allotment to bed!
Everything is looking tired and weary and such a contrast to earlier in the year when we were harvesting onions, courgettes, patty pans and sweet corn. Even earlier we had tomatoes, gooseberries, runner beans, broad beans, beetroot, strawberries and rhubarb to eat or turn into jam or chutney. All that we have left to harvest are some carrots and celeriac.
The next step!
Such a contrast, now the job of the clearing the ground has begun and it will be dug over in the next few weeks (if it ever stops raining for long enough) and then we will plant garlic and broad beans (Aquadulce var.)
