End of season tidy up

 As I have been too busy to regularly attend on weekends throughout Autumn, I have today started  belatedly to tidy up the plot. All that is left to eat is one solitary cabbage, lots of  Brussels sprouts, and a bed of Swede. Unfortunately, blight and early frost took care of the late planting of Christmas potatoes.

Summer Drawing to a close

We have used all the cauli's and most cabbage, with the Broad beans and two rows of peas being composted. The Xmas potatoes have been earthed up but a general tiredness is starting to appear even though the Runners and French dwarf's are in full vigour.

Our first cauliflowers

A real feeling of success with our first cauliflowers which are of retail standard!

Bad weather moves in!

Views from the shed while heavy showers persisted yesterday.

Potatoes harvested

All potatoes are harvested and what a fantastic assortment we had with fantastic taste. We are now preparing the beds for a second crop and some green beans.

New neighbours.....

We have new neighbours and it's made a big difference with two thirds of the double plot already worked to a high standard.

Yesterday was another tidying up day with all the Brassica beds weeded and re-caged.

New potatoes!

Today we have had our first taste of new potatoes. As can be seen from the photos beans peas and brassicas are also doing well.
