We are now eating our own potatoes – the Charlottes have cropped well and taste great and we should have the first picking of runner beans this weekend. The soft fruit is in full swing and Andrew is picking plenty to freeze as well as supplying our 5-a-day.

Andrew has tidied up the soft fruit beds and mulched them with well-rotted manure and dug one bed after spreading more manure on it in readiness for the potatoes.
On the allotment: 12th November – Andrew has planted up a new soft fruit area. This has involved a great deal of digging, followed by the addition of well-rotted manure and the laying of a Mypex geotextile membrane to retain moisture and control weed regrowth. Planting holes were cut through it and the new fruit bushes are now nicely tucked in for the winter.
