Up late...

Today was a very untypical day for me, because I got up much later than usual. As a result, I missed the allotment group this morning and just seem to be behind , with regard to everything else. It has thrown the whole day out... 

Good Wreath

With the Christmas Fete tomorrow, this was last opportunity to try and finish off my own wreath and any others, that will be available to buy. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture to post...   

Wreath making

We didn't get to the allotment today. Instead, the wreath making continued. It's an interesting activity, with various!       

Wreaths...

Allotment today: wet and cold, but thankfully  there were only a few things to do. At least the  morning was broken up by wreath making at the beginning! However, the weather wasn't so bad...really.  

Garlic and broad beans

It was very busy in the allotment today. Our Winter planting regime continued, ie. we planted broad beans and cloves of garlic. We also had the opportunity to harvest our carrots and I had a really impressive bunch! Our main problem could be animals foraging for food, as they have already caused a lot of damage.  

Tomatoes end...

Conditions, weather wise , were much better today in the allotment. All of the tomato plants were uprooted, but there won't be any waste. We can still use those green tomatoes...many will even ripen! We also planted our first shallots. 

Winter planting

Allotment today: the first of our over wintering vegetables were planted today...these included kale, cabbage, broccoli, various lettuces, chicory. Some outside in large pots; others outside under cover; the rest in the greenhouse.
