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.
