We've had two or three really hard frosts this last week, which have really done for the squashes, cucumbers and melons. The Under-Gardener has pulled them up.
On the other hand, we actually have sprouts on our sprout plants which are nearly big enough to eat!! We've never had proper sprouts on our sprout plants before, just tiny, poor, pathetic excuses for sprouts. We've eaten the sprout tops but not actually the sprouts. Mind you, the plants have been in for nearly 18 months. And the sprouts aren't yet quite big enough to eat. But they're coming along.
The chard is magnificent. And the carrots in their boxes are coming along well. We've started thinning them out.
Otherwise, there isn't much to report. Winter is hoving into view. We should be prepping the gardens and the allotment for winter - but we aren't! (too cold, is my excuse - snuggled up inside drinking cocoa is what I'm doing)
