Autumn is here, the potatoes and squash are all harvested and in store for the coming months. The garlic is planted and mulched with wood chip. The last of the tomatoes and chillies are still being harvested but some of the polytunnels now have salad growing in them. The leafy greens, leeks and brassicas in the field are thriving in the wet and fairly mild weather.
The leeks, cabbages, caulis, swede and celeriac are all small after the summer heat and drought but the leafy greens have all recovered well.
Greeen manure crops of grass, clover and vetch have been sown in what was potato and squash ground, so that the ground has a beneficial cover crop.
