Although there are still plenty of vegetables still to pick - including beans, beetroot, carrots, chard, some brassicas and leeks - it's definitely time to start to plan for the new season.
I've already checked what seeds remain from this year which we can use next time, and also assessed the pros and cons of everything that we've grown or tried to grow! I've ordered most of the fresh seeds which we'll need through the Organic Catalogue but there are one or two things - including a beautiful sweet corn seed which will need to be bought through Thompson & Morgan and Suttons.
I've dug over most of the area which had potatoes this year, as well as the onion and garlic plot, and scattered Vetch seed as a green manure on them. It'll be interesting to see how it grows and what benefits it brings to the soil but I'm hopeful!
I'll also be getting manure for those parts of the plot which didn't get much this year but also being careful to leave untouched those sections which will have root crops on them next year - I think I see a plan emerging!!
