Last of the Summer …… Time.

I went to the plot this weekend and completed some composting. I was surprised to see that the strawberries are having a second flush this late on. I don’t think they will come to much, but you never know. As you can see from the picture I already have formed strawberries, so they could ripen if we have some more sun.

The sprouts are coming on. I thought it was cabbage when my friend gave it to me, but obviously not.

I’m even still getting runner beans. They are not as stringy as you would assume, so I am harvesting and eating. Why not.

This is a swede that is going to make some good mash later in the week, along with a couple of courgettes – from the still growing plant. I realised I have to keep the courgettes under glass for longer before I plant out or they just die on the plot. I will do that from the start next year as this was the third or fourth attempt and I missed the early growing season.

I’m really pleased that I can still harvest my crops. Not a lot of other people are still doing that. They have all dug there plots over for the winter. I think they gave up this year as nothing seemed to grow for them – or me really. But somehow I managed to get a reasonable crop.
