A non-gardening week
Last week we only had a very brief visit to the allotment. We took some material for the compost heap and would have stayed longer, but it started to rain so we headed home.
We have made good progress preparing the plot for its winter rest, so there is no urgency, and we can take a bit of a break when the weather is miserable.

Tints
Due to all the time spent watering at the allotment this year, we neglected our garden, and it is now very much in need of some TLC. Last week, we shared our gardening time between the garden and allotment. In both locations, it was a matter of general maintenance and tidying up.
Many plants in the garden have become too large, so over winter, whenever the weather is favourable, borders will be cleared ready for new planting in spring.
