Greetings!
....today!
Well the season for me seems to be drawing to a close. The nights are becomming shorter (it's dark by half eight!) and the tentacles of Autum are touching the last of the Summer sun. The Plot has been quite magnificent with an abundance of great veg. I still have beans and courgettes and beets a plenty to take and one remaining pumpkin thats comming along nicely. In the greenhouse I'm just getting the last of my Toms. Chillies and peppers have been a bit poor ....oh well. I'll try again next year.
Unfortunately periods of neglect have allowed copious ammounts of weed to grow! Darn it! I've had a go at some but I have a coupple of hardy patches to sort. And I'll have to start digging the Plot again to make it all nice for winter and ready for a nice layer of vraic. Bi cri! And my manure heap has rotted down nicely. Not sure if another year of rotting is needed before spreading as the lot I put on green seems to have caused no harm.
So all in all a very good first year. I've got plenty of rhubarb and beans and courgettes in the freezer and I've still got onions and loads of garlic in the shed. I'll make me a gardner yet!
I have promised you some photos so I'm off out today to get some and to show you how the Plot fared.
Thanks for following my exploits. I plan to grow more exotic stuff next year so watch this space and although things will slow down (if not actually stop) over winter I'll be pottering about doing jobs and keeping you updated as to what I've bee up to. I'm going to overwinter some onions ( cos we use them lots) and we'll see about what else takes my fancy.
In the meantime keep on enjoying, keep on following and abitot for now.
