Winter preparations continue.

The weather has been so wet recently that it has been difficult to get on to the allotment to get it dug over. It seems that most days are full of rain, but in the few dry days I have been able to get out.

This is how it was at the start of November

This is how it is now with the celeriac lifted, then spaced and replanted. Hopefully all 12 plants will survive. In addition a row of aquadulce broad beans has been planted. This is the first time that I have tried overwintering broad beans. If successful, this will, hopefully, lead to an earlier crop than last year.

More to do!

Although we have quite a small plot, there is still much digging to do. Unfortunately the allotments do not have a ready supply of manure any more. It can be bought in but I am not sure of the cost, quality or the quantity.
