A rare trip to the allotment saw the following harvest.Early Nantes carrots,Helenor swede,Gladiator parsnips and a rather overgrown Hungarian zucchini.I also dug over some soil ready for Aquadulce broad beans.

The Alium bed has been planted up for next year with Electric Red onions,Senshyu onions,Golden Gourmet shallots,Albigensian Wight and Cristo garlic.
In the garden I have been collecting sacks of leaves for leaf mulch.Last year's has been mixed up and moved and contains lots of worms and is decomposing nicely.
