Autumn leaves are falling

After an absence of over a fortnight, we actually managed to visit the allotment last week.

As always, after unloading the car, we checked on any plants that were still growing. That didn't take very long as, at this time of year most of the beds are empty. We were pleased to see that the winter onions, shallots and garlic were growing away well. We were especially pleased to see that the shallots have started to grow as there was no sign of this the last time that we checked. I don't expect much more growth to be put on now until next spring when hopefully they will grow away quickly.

    Yes, most of my garden is done as well. I do have radishes and green onions still coming as well.

    Hi: I write the blog Gold Country Cottage from California. I received a comment from "Cabaret" and when I clicked on it I came to your blog. I don't know if you are one and the same but thought I would drop you a line just in case. I have heard about allotments but don't know if we have them in the USA or not. What a great idea especially if you aren't fortunate enough to have a large lot of your own. I don't grow vegetables except a tomato now and then but I do love flowers. As I always say our garden grows "in spite" of us. If you are not "Cabaret" it might have been spam but I'm glad it brought me to you. xxoJudy

      Hi Judy - I'm not Cabaret but you are very welcome. I'm don't know why I was linked to Cabaret - very strange. We do have a garden but there isn't room to grow all the fruit and veg/ Large gardens are at a premium in the UK. We do grow some flowers in the allotment as well as in the garden.

    I love your blog. I grow food every year and can it. I live on the Oregon coast so gardening is not so easy with rain and wind. Thank you for stopping by my blog. I look forward to reading more of yours.
