A close up view of the middle parts of the lottie
Pig muck - in case you don't know what it looks like (joke) it ends up jet black when it is rotted. Good stuff
Horse and pig muck bins
Where the Cherokee climbing French beans were, and onion rows
Rows of parsnips
This is my next project - weed this manured bed and around the raspberries and currant bushes
Caterpiller Cafe
Leeks and parsnips
Covered area till I get around to spreading manure for potato bed, leeks, January King cabbages under fleece, parnips other side and more covered area.
Mowed the paths
Asparagus grown from seed this year - hope they survive the winter
Late sowing of perpetual spinach - good isn't it this late in the year?
Gooseberries, currant cuttings, asparagus seedlings

Yhanks for this very interesting overview of your allotment - it looks enormous!! (And very well organised.) How nice to have views over countryside with so many mature trees.
ReplyDeleteI made some bread today for the first time for ages partly on the basis of your picture the other day. We have a great recipe that one of Lisa's friends' Mums gave us a few years ago when she was in primary school. I might take a picture (of the recipe) and post it on the blog if you're interested. (Not that you need any lessons in bread-making but it is a great recipe involving treacle amongst other things!)
All the best, Mike
