Title: Better late than never!
Post by: Tee Gee on October 06, 2012, 15:35:55
Been down the allotment this morning and did a bit of harvesting!

Thats the last of the Runner Beans,Sweetcorn and Aubergines.

Still getting a few tomatoes and I am having a good crop of peppers,so much so this is probably about 10% of what I have on the go!

The carrots are a bit small but as clean as a whistle, all they need is toppingand tailing and a bit of a wash and they are ready for the pot!


Got about 50% of the winter digging and manuring done over the past week , hopefully I will get the rest done in the incoming week!

Then I will get the garlic and onions in and my new strawberry plants!

Never been so far in front!

Makes it all worthwhile doesn't it. We are very much ahead of the game here too. Like you I have some onions and garlic to plant.  I am up to date with pot and tray cleaning too. I have some winter lettuce and radishes on the go in the greenhouse and some chillies and sweet peppers. I picked my last cauliflower yesterday  :sad10:

That looks really beautiful. I cannot believe your peppers are so good. Luckily, we gardeners remain endlessly optimistic, and truly believe that next year will be better.
