Pretty impressed with the mustard seed cover crop. Sprouted and growing fast after just 1 week. Also put some field beans in there but they're yet to show. #allotment

As you clear your summer veg beds, don't leave them bare! Now is the time to feed your soil for next year by adding a thick layer of well-rotted manure. No need to dig it. Cover with cardboard to suppress weeds & let the winter worms work their magic, pulling the nutrients down for you. #Allotment
Pulled a whole bag and a half of bindweed out (embarrassing amount) & managed to do bit of strimming with new strimmer just put together (v brain taxing) then rembered sposed to be going to a castle! D'Oh! ๐
#allotment time cut short ๐
Corn and black beans sorted out.
Well that was a jolly lovely day at the #allotment. Not too hot, not too cold, not massively windy but enough of a light breeze to make winnowing seed possible. Got a lot done as well - weeding, sowing green manures, seed saving, feeding and harvesting. Not to mention chatting and sharing crops.
Pears ๐ฑ ripening nicely now on the #allotment espaliers. Brought a few home to finish and enjoy.
look at the colour of that sky.. so lucky with the weather yesterday.
parts of the #allotment were still in early morning shade but cosmos ๐ฑ was getting the sun
Phew ๐ฎโ๐จ more sorting out of our #allotment today after a difficult summer. We did harvest our pumpkins/squashes though (luckily I wasnโt wheeling them home!) and a few other oddments. The total okra crop this year is fourโฆ Might give the space over to something else next year!
revolutionary allotment development: squid for vegans ๐ธ๐พ
Afternoon at the #allotment #allotmentlife mainly mowing, strumming, battling brambles and picking pears. We finished the pergola last weekend ready for some dessert grape cuttings to provide summer shade and fruit. Leeks, cima di rapa radish and turnip doing well ๐
Although it seemed to have been a poor year on the #allotment things are picking up now.
We've got the best carrots harvest ever, and we're doing well with beetroot.
We've come home with those as well as a few squashes, a calabrese head and a cauliflower as [โฆ]
Oor Allotment Fox having a post 'lunch' nap. 10 minutes earlier it was hunting a few feet from us and caught a rat. After eating said rat it continued to do laps of the allotments hunting and then settled down on our neighbours Rasp bushes for nap.
