A video update at the beginning of October

We have been cropping like mad, but most things are now coming to an end. During September we started clearing an area of the plot in preparation for planting overwintering onions and garlic. These are going in where this years spuds were planted and we have decided to add some 10x4ft beds for this purpose.

Some crops are at their best during autumn including our autumn raspberries. We also have lots of chinese greens for stir fry.

With the frosts fast approaching we decided to harvest the squash, but have left in the 2 large Atlantic giant pumpkins (on our other plot). These are too big to move and we will hollow these out at the end of the month and decorate them for halloween.

This weekend was the allotment AGM. We were awarded a prize for achieving the overall highest points and first place in the home produce section of our annual show, which took place in August.

In addition, LottiePlotFour was awarded a shield for the 'most improved plot'.
