It has been a very busy time lately, gathering in the produce from my allotment plots.
I brought home the Pumpkins and Squashes to store in a dry place, also picked all our Apples from our garden and the Cayenne Peppers from the Polytunnel. Also I've picked all our Tomatos that were still outdoors on the allotment, which had been prolific this year. Dana my wife has been making Stuffed Peppers from some of the Peppers from the Polytunnel too (Photo above).
Been such a productive year again and it's saved us quite a bit of money growing as much as we can ourselves. Also knowing how much fresher everything is, when you pick it yourself as you need it. The allotments now are mainly in need of tidying up and start to prepare to clear everything off, so I can get the soil cultivated for next year.
At home the back garden will soon have a major pruning and get ready for Incinerating the branches and old plant material. A big job indeed!
We have also saved a lot of seeds from this years vegetables and flowers for next years sowings.
