Preparing for winter...

Sunday 19 October 2009

We cleared and dug over the area where the courgettes/squash/sweetcorn were.

The 'back' onion bed was also cleared and dug over.

All green tomatoes harvested and we will remove the tomato plants removed next week.

We also discovered an unexpected bounty on the new plot (potatoes, shallots and onions)so we have added those to our winter store.

We are holding a bonfire next weekend (Sunday 25 October)to mark the grand opening of the new plot! We have invited some neighbours and their children and plan to take baked potatoes, hot dogs and some s'mores (toasted marshmallows sandwiched between 2 chocolate digestive biscuits). YUM!

The Grand Opening of the new plot will start at 5.30pm as it will be dark by then given that the clocks change on Saturday.
