Pulled up broccoli and dug over and weeded area.
Started weeding where beans and peas.
Brought home my one solitary pumpkin  :(
Butternut squash really small so picking them and digging over area is next visits task.
Still got cabbages, turnips and fennel growing.
Raspberries done so they need cutting back.
Plot not looking too bad  :)

Made the most of the sunny day.
Managed few hours of weeding and digging. Bed ready now for my autumn onions and garlic. Dug and weeded squash bed after picking six small butternut squash.
Covered cabbages with debris netting as they were bursting out of their net tunnel.
Sweetcorn bed to dig over and raspberries to prune and weed then think am ready for winter.  :)

Put the first of the winter wood ash on the veg patch this morning, using my lovely sieve!

Planted my garlic and shallots.
Dug over and weeded bed from courgettes and planted there the last of my strawberries which had been wilting in a bucket. ;)
Now have long narrow bed full of my marshmello strawberries, planted this time with lots of space and weed free at the moment.
Started pruning my raspberries.
Weeded around cabbages and broccoli.

Dug over and weeded sweetcorn bed and dug up last of fennel and dug and weeded that bed too.
Now have left, cabbages, red and white and sprouts under debris netting. Sprouts look great but cabbages bit small.
Lots of turnips left.
Dahlias need digging up.
Have pile of weeds and foliage which was going to burn but will cover over next visit and burn what hasnt rotted down when it's dry next year.
Raspberries need finishing pruning and weeding if get chance.
Plot on good state for winter, better than last year  :)

Yesterday I prepared another big bed for winter by digging it over, weeding, adding manure then covering with weed matting.

Well I put another pile of wood ash on the plot, and ensured I could continue to take horse manure from a neighbours field (new owners last year).

Re-felted the shed - It's only taken me 5 years to get around to it.  ::)  Needless to say 5 years of weathering means I now need to repair the shed too   :blush:

Harvested some leeks, dug over the bed and covered with black plastic. Staked Brussels sprouts and removed yellow
Leaves to compost. Also harvested a few broccoli spears.

For the first time in 4 years my plot has had a good covering of frost which will be a big help to break down those clods of earth!
