Coming to the end of the season.

It's coming to the end of the summer season on the allotment. That doesn't mean that we're out of produce as the plot is still pretty plentiful.

Firstly we have the classic courgettes which are still putting out a load of fruits. I've totally lost track of just how many we've had, there have been so many. We also grabbed a few beetroots. The big beetroot at the front was a rogue one which must have self-seeded from last year.

Loads of tomatoes too. The yellow ones are Ildi which have also self-seeded from last year. A few chillies which are ripe enough to pick (still more to come) and a Crown Prince which we are going to try out. We have a few CPs which managed to survive the cold snap earlier in the year, so hopefully they will last us a little while.

We're not really planning on growing anything over the winter. But we might plant a few turnips just to see if they come to anything. We planted a whole load back in April, but the incredibly hot spring forced them all to bolt to seed so we didn't get anything. Hopefully slow growing over winter may produce results.
