Since i last posted i have been busy with other things and as the season come to an end i have not had too much to report, plus i broke my camera phone so i have not been taking photo's which serve as a reminder to what has been going on.
Most of the summer fruit and veg has now been picked and eaten. The potatoes lasted well into november, onions have been dried and stored. Leeks are still being picked as is kale. Most of the plants in pots have been put into the green house
The compost bins have been emptied and refilled hopefully ready for next year. the secret seems to be adding lots of fresh horse manure to get them going. The leaf mold is coming on nicely and another layer from this year has been added
So what have i learned this year?
Dont sow too early especially beans and courgettes. not too many seeds sown at one time, succesional sowing is a must, not too many potatoes.
Most veg was successful especially carrots, sweetcorn, chillies, tomatoes, potatoes
Next year: no broad beans, better tasting varieties, lots of chillies and tomatoes, hopefully some asparagus and artichokes.
To do: move greenhouse up to top plot, raised beds
