LAURIE'S ALLOTMENT BY LAURIE LAVENDER
Big Dig! ) This time of year (after our return from a two-week break in Quarantinia), most of the time has been spent congratulating Donald (King Weed) on the amazing work he has done pushing back the green pests and keeping everything under control. We have continued to harvest tomatoes, chard, sweetcorn, carrots, beans, beetroot, cauliflower, potatoes, lettuce, a couple of early leeks and raspberries.
Now is the time to be digging your plot over with manure or compost in preparation for next season. It is also a good time for getting your onion sets, garlic and early broad beans and peas in. If you have a cold frame or polytunnel you can plant early salad crops. We are going to move our strawberries into a slightly raised bed nearer to where Tina Thyme takes her coffee break and may be in need of something fruity. She’s been a bit lazy this week so apologies for only two pictures, but they are nice! (Quality not Quantity! TT)
It is also a good time of year to consider other planning options in crop rotation but more of that next month with some festive hints. Laurie Lavender (Thanks to Donald and Tina)
