As the snow falls it's a pretty good time to stay indoors. As expected, I did manage to get 2 trailer loads of manure - one from Bhylls Lane, the other from Stafford Road. Despite all the time and effort the end result always looks rather disappointing so fortunately much of the allotment was manured last year and doesn't all need re-doing.
We'll concentrate on the area of the fruit cage and the upper sections this Autumn and I'll try to get more manure during the Spring as well.
I planted around 30 cloves of over-wintering garlic so hopefully they'll have got established a bit before this cold spell. They are supposed to be very hardy anyway so there shouldn't be any problems.
Still in the ground are sprouts, parsnips, Jerusalem artichokes and chard so we'll still have some fresh produce up until Christmas, if not beyond.
