Sprayed all my sprouts with anti-mealy fly stuff. Luckily the birds seem to have sorted some of the out already - see below.
Tried desperately to rig up temporary netting with a couple of hoops, wrong size bamboo canes, metal poles, sticky back plastic and sellotape ;) where the birds have ripped open some of my el-cheapo temporary B&Q netting and bitten the heads of my sprouts in one bed and my PSBs in another.
Brought home a sack of Amaranth flower heads for threshing.
Harvested a whopper of a cured marrow for storage and a bundle of pattipans before the cold arrives.

Got the last 2 cauli's up to put in the freezer. Started moving the strawberries away from the autumn raspberries.Got the last few bean seeds in to finish drying off. Finished digging the last potato patch ready for next year. Labelled the chrysanths that had got mixed up. Came home to a lovely casserole cooking in the slow cooker, The smell is divine. Just got to do some spuds now to go with it.

Had a tidy up, moved some herb plants from my son's plot to mine temporarily and clipped the hedge, pretty routine stuff really! I'm getting some manure delivered from a local farmer on Sunday, so I might have to dig up the rest of my carrots and the sunflowers that are growing by the front fence as that is where he will want to tip it over....... :-\

If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

Got into terrible trouble at the allotment today, started a bonfire and the smoke blew the wrong way, and a lovely lady shouted so all of Enfield could hear, if you don't put that fu...ing bonfire out I will call the environmental health, so I rushed to get my watering can and put it out. Thought it was only dry grass I was burning, I think I ruined her washing, so no more bonfires. Other two bonfires on there blew onto the playing fields, so I went home feeling upset. Spoke to other nice people on the allotment and they said they heard her shouting, it was quite scary. Had a good chat with my friend and his wife, and 10 of us were looking for his keys which he had dropped, but no luck. He heard the shouting, but said it is an allotment site and not my fault the wind changed direction, but it did spoil the day for me. I would never, ever do that deliberately and must admit even the dry grass did smoke a bit.

Borlotti get yourself home girl, put your feet up, pour yourself a large glass of wine and put some music on.
I'll lend you one of my favourite albums if you like, how about Smokey Robinsons greatest hits.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :-*

Borlotti,
It is from advise that I heard, you can only do fires from 1800 to 0600 daily.
This would not interfere with the people who want to put out their washing and also those who want to air their houses.

In Birmingham fires are forbidden at any time. On my site we are waiting for Nov 5th when we are allowed to bend the rules. Some of the piles are quite high and cover with plastic sheets.
