As part of the preparations for autumn it has been necessary to pick all the remaining squashes in case a sudden frost should damage them. There are still a few courgettes left (somewhat less precious!) in the front border of the plot but they will soon be over too - to be replaced temporarily by some wallflower plants to provide a bit of early spring colour at a time when many things will be starting off in the greenhouse but very little will be in the allotment itself.
Having said that I'm hopeful that some winter lettuce will make it - some seeds planted directly in the soil and some in trays in the greenhouse until they germinate. It'll be interesting to see how they get by.
