Preparing for the winter

We have lifted the carrots and we are really pleased with the result. Broad Beans have been sown following the carrots, it is hoped that the Autumn sowing will deter the Black Fly due to an early harvest in May or June next year.







We have spread the Farm Manure over the beds allowing the weather and worms to do their work over the winter.










We have planted a Rhubarb crown, so we will watch this space with growing interest as spring approaches.

November..........

"No warmth, no cheerfulness, no helpful ease,
No comfortable feel in any member,—
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds—November!"
