It's official now - autumn is upon us. Nights are noticeably drawing in and other than the occasional blip, the temperatures are falling. I don't know about you but I feel cheated by the lack of summer.
Some areas have had lots of rainfall but for us it has remained resolutely dry and more often than not gloomy.
The pace of activity at the allotment has slowed although there remains lots of tidying and winter preparatory work to occupy us.
We have had some rain. Whether it satisfies the needs of the allotment remains to be seen but I very much doubt it. That said every little helps.
We only managed to visit the allotment on Tuesday afternoon when we managed to prepare the bed where we will plant garlic and over-wintering onions.
