Very wet and miserable

They've been saying for years that Winter is coming. Winter is here and it looks very wet and miserable down the plot.

We're not overwintering anything in the ground*, and we only have a few strawberry plants in the green house. Other than that there is no real reason to visit the plot on a wet Sunday.

Except of course to drop off our collection of peelings, coffee grinds, orange rinds and other assorted detritus that accumulates when you're veggies who usually make their own meals. Since we can't get down there during the week, we have to amass everything for a single trip to dump in the compost bins. So by the end of the week things are starting to get a little smelly. We could just throw it all in the food bins here at the flats, but why waste useful goodness? Everybody should be composting, no matter what time of year it is.


* OK, we have Chard, but that grows in the bed irrespective of what is happening to the rest of the world. And there is the Strawberry bed. And I suppose you could count the fact that there are onions growing as well.
