Been up to the allotment making sure everything is secure for the pending winds, whilst there lifted our Kerr's Pink potatoes, we got over 9kg of 8 seed potatoes a decent return, also brought home some onions we have had hanging after harvest, a half dozen courgettes, a good bunch of spring onions, about a kilo of tomatoes, a dozen chillies and 2 cucumbers. Corn is getting close to plucking, and pumpkins and aubergine are starting to grow well with a fair few fruit, they're still small but promising, winter beetroot starting to break through and second leeks bedding in well. Will plant the rest of the Christmas potatoes(Charlotte) over the weekend and the carrots next week with some long Chinese radish. A few different greens will be going in over the next week or two to extend our growing season.

From a potentially poor year we have done OK, one or two disasters mainly beans and peas but aubergine and chillies looking great so the doom and gloom of the Springtime has somewhat disappeared and hopeful of the Autumn veg to come.
