Safely gathered in

We are now at the stage where the allotment beds are emptying and our main focus is clearing and tidying beds. We are still waiting for some rain so that we can dig the beds over and then leave them until next spring.  Where we have been watering crops the soil although very dry is workable. The soil where the potatoes were planted is hard and lumpy. For now, until we get some decent rain we can only leave those beds.

A few crops are still growing, one being the crop of leeks. We seem to have a plant with variegated leaves. It looks more like an ornamental plant. I've never come across a leek with leaves like this before - have you?

    Interesting leek you have grown Sue. I like its taste but leek is expensive and rarely buy it.
