It's official

Last weekend, the clocks were turned back an hour  meaning the end of British Summer Time (BST) and so we can no longer deny that we are hurtling towards winter.

For visitors from outside of the UK. At the end of October our time switches to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). At the end of March, we change to British Summer Time (BST) when the clocks are put forward by an hour.

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.
