Many crops on LottiePlotFour are still producing. The bluberries have the last few berries.
The Dahlias are still going strong.
Leeks are starting to thicken up....
...and the autumn raspberries are at their peak.
The parsnips are still looking green. Hopefully the roots are still growing too!
The courgettes are slowing down, but are not over yet!
I am not sure the buttersquash will ripen - they went in too late, but I can keep hoping!
We have starting clearing beds for the winter...
...but, many of the beds are still full!
The herb bed is still very productive.
2010 was a great year for softfruit. These 2 strawberry beds are full of runners. Today's job was to clear the runners out and transplant around 50 to set up another bed in the spring.
Ant shows off a carrot. These were brilliant this year! (all hail enviromesh!!)
We harvested a load of carrots today to use in a large batch of bolognaise and soup for the freezer.
These are the first of our leeks. They are still tiny, but will be finding their way into a pie tonight.
Tomatoes ready for skinning. I will be making a batch of chilli jam tomorrow.
More courgettes - again pasta sauce for lunch whilst at work.
Yummy raspberries. They might even be made into a crumble with apples if Ant is really lucky.
Our new empire...
LottiePlotFiveA!
Our lottie neighbour is going down to a half plot due to work commitments, but the plot has been under cultivation this year. It is in good condition will just a few annual weeds. There is a bit of couch in the flowerbed and around the raspberries, but we will start tackling that over winter.
