Opening View.
A view of the plot from the entrance. Made to look greener than it is by the mesh windbreaks. I have covered some of my raised beds with straw for the winter… read somewhere that it was a good idea.
Tracks.
The ground just above the plot showing signs of wear and tear from passing heavy machinery, working at a nearby cottage.
Storage.
The compost bin doubles up as a storage unit for some tools.
Red Onion.
My overwintering red onions are popping up already.
Fennel.
Still a few fennel plants on the go. Didn’t get around to making candied fennel… maybe next year!
Beetroot.
There’s plenty more beetroot to be picked! I have plans to try beetroot, apple and carrot juice, and beetroot-infused vodka.
Coffee Grounds.
Used coffee grounds to be added to the compost heap and raised beds. Supposedly repels slugs too, but it was way too wet to be effective this year.
Look at your onions and fennel – lucky you!
I’m struggling to find uses for my fennel, but it does look good at the plot.
great photos and still getting great veg!
Thanks Lisa. Yeah, still a few bits and pieces on the go!
You have such a tidy plot.. even with so little growing it is beautiful to look at!
Thanks Barbara. The allotment is blushing!
:*) me too, lol!
Very cool shots!
You’ve put a smile on my Canadian face, Val. Thanks!
You make me laugh, so you’re welcome!
