As I only took over the tenancy for my plot 5 days ago, and I inherited a jungle, yesterday afternoon and this morning was spent clearing 3 of 7  8x4 raised beds, strimming the overgrown grass and measuring the plot.

Good for you. I bet you were pleased to see the changes. 

Take some photos so you can look back on your progress and achievements.

Closed the last two vents on the side of the poly tunnel ahead of the forecast frosts later in the week, rescued the headphones I lost in the shed yesterday, and spread a few slug pellets under fleece I put down yesterday.

Then saw my beetroot, panicked about the frost, and harvested the lot...

With frost about, harvested the last of the red and green "Gardener's Delight" and cleared the plants. Harvested the last of my bell-peppers "California Wonder". Watered the recently transplanted Purple Sprouting - Mole has been through them already! I think his name is Allain Rolland!

Assembled engine on my new mini tractor and started it. Working well , will fix back fuel tank and replace fuel lines, than check gearbox and rotary

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! 

Drove down to the allotment (10mins) in which time the sun disappeared and a very large black cloud had appeared and promptly the heaven's opened.

Discretion being the better part of valour, decided nothing too pressing, so went home to mull over next year's seed orders again with a mug of coffee and a pasty.

Just dodged the showers at home and pulled the first parsnip from the raised veg plot in the back garden

Cleared and dug over 2 more raised bed. I've only been an allotmenteer for a week but at last the  plot is now starting to look like an allotment instead of the overgrown jungle I took on. Took the tarpauline of a very wet area and forked it over to aid drainage. Previous encumbent had covered half the plot with tarpauline's and carpet. Not a bad afternoons work.

Retrieved  some double glazed windows from glazing firms skip,then a large slatted wooden crate from fireplace shop,which they receive the fireplaces in,then painted it with wood preservative.
Now ready to make a coldframe with other double glazed glass,also from skip.

Planted 235 Aquadulce Claudia broad bean seeds, bought loose for £2.59, and a pack of T & M`s First Early onion sets, which cost me £1.99 as opposed to their catalogue price of £4.49! 

Harvested the very last runner beans, just enough for a meal, and more purple sprouting, which just keeps coming. 

Very jealous of another plotholder, who was picking strawberries. 

The new lady, near to me, has cut off all the summer raspberries on her plot, oh dear!

Day started nicely and quietly - replaced wheels on the mini tractor, mounted engine, finished cleaning, did test-drive  Gearbox looks ok, now need new driving belt and can fix and adjust rotary.
Dug out some satoimo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoimo , picked some piman(similar to paprika, but smaller). Tried some persimmons - they are getting sweet and soft, but this variety is very sticky And found lost  sweet potatoes - wild pigs shared them with me in not very polite way - took the best ones. Want catch that bustards and make some bacon  Also today one neiborough visited my place, short chat and he confirmed, that wild rabbits are eatable - no parasites or diseases. Food coming to my door  And don't tell me, that rabbits are so cute, they are tasty as well

Cleared away the masses of slimy nastutiums after last night's frost, plus the sad looking courgette plants.

Planted three different sorts of garlic, two kinds of shallots and three types of autumn onions.

Watered the minitunnel as the lettuces and cucumbers are in there and I shan't be back to the plot until 30th October.

Harvested the last turks' turban squash, the only two (rather small ) butternuts and a small pumpkin that somehow had appeared in amongst the runner beans 

Put a layer of debris netting over the florence fennel as didn't have time to harvest it. Let's hope it doesn't freeze before I'm back

yesterday I took the rotovator up one plot, it died of a sooted up plug just as I finished, tonight I was going to do the other plot, but after an hour of moving just a couple of hundred yards in the right direction I gave up as it was starting to get dark, tweaked the mixture and got the rotovator running before I left so at least I know its running.
