Both the male and female #blackbirds were tucking into the last of the still sweet grapes which will soon be all gone so I'm enjoying these close encounters with the now bold resident poachers .. love them always

A few hours #allotment #allotmentlife clearing the herb bed and planting peppermint. Made some manure tea ready to use next week on the leeks and noticed figlets on one of the figs! A beautiful day to be out as the seasons turn.

๐ ๐ ๐ Santa has been with my early xmas pressie....
Will get them planted soon.
Shallots, not grown these for a good many a year, ๐ค๐ค
Garlic and shallots bed prep. Couldn't risk doing anything more as I didn't want to aggravate my back and sciatica. Nice day though!
I've decided to get some new garlic for next year's harvest because this year wasn't great. I've gone for Eden Rose and Messidrome. I'm planting the massive elephant garlic I grew this year. Going to put some shallot and onion sets in too.
