The past few weeks have seen new asparagus and strawberry beds created. The squashes have all been harvested before the first frosts hit (all 59.9kg of them), the biggest one weighing in at an impressive 7.3kg.
Most of the plot is now winter dug.
The raspberries both in the garden and on the plot are still producing quite nicely and at least every other day I have a punnet to pick.
2 rows of main crop potatoes remain in the ground still, but there's still half a sack left in the kitchen from the first 2 rows.
Cauliflowers were a bit disappointing, but there have been enough for one meal and even though they didnt look especially lovely, they tasted fantastic.
I'm sure there is probably more to report, but will post some photos of things I've been up to in the past few weeks.
Old strawberry beds
New Strawberry beds - rotate 90 degrees and slightly bigger
First 2 short rows of main crop - probably Desiree
59.9kg of Butternut Squash
Start of October
Pic for end of October seems to have vanished, but the plot if now mostly cleared and only purple sprouting broccoli, sprouts and a few cauliflowers are still standing.
Well done. Your hard work repaid with lots of crops. My raspberry canes only produce fruit in June/July. All fruit at once. Your variety sounds more user friendly, producing over a longer period.
ReplyDeleteThe variety of raspberry I have is called Joan J (I think). It produces lovely large fruit and for such a long period of time too.
