Just as the weather’s cooling down, jobs come along on the plot which can warm you up. Now’s the time to start adding manure, compost and leaf mould to your plot. A few hours shovelling will soon get your coat off! I would advise you to not go mad with the muck spreading though – learn from my pain as I’ve been laid up with a pulled muscle in my back this week. I’m not 100% sure what caused it but I did jump into my manure pile last week and started flinging it with gusto over every uncultivated space. If you’ve got any trees dropping leaves on your lawn and are raking them up anyway, you might as well stick them in a few bin liners with a few holes punctured in. Then put them somewhere out of the way and within a year or two you’ll have lovely leaf mould which will improve the structure of the soil. You can still sow in November, even directly into the soil. Broad beans can be sown direct giving a crop of beans in May / June. Even if snow crushes the plants over winter, then new shoots will sprout from the base in spring. Similarly peas can be sown directly now. (Incidentally, the Latin name for peas, Pisum, comes from the city of Pisa which was once famous for its peas.) Maybe the only thing you’ve got on the plot over winter will be your brassicas, so it’s worth spending some time looking after them. You are advised to remove dead or yellowing leaves, and this is a job I love. It makes everything look so much more groomed and tidy. A farmer’s tractor often passes by my allotment and I always think they must find it ridiculous to see me tidying my cabbages in this way as surely they’re not doing that with the thousands of greens they’re growing! Aphids and whitefly can survive frosts so if they’re still troubling you water the plants with a soft soap solution. (I hate whitefly which rises up in a choking cloud every time you touch the plants). Brassicas also don’t like their roots being disturbed by wind so earth up any tall ones and stake up very tall ones. If you’re growing parsnips, then they’re supposed to taste best after the first frosts which we could well be having around now. I’ve a lovely recipe for a cottage pie where, instead of just mashed potatoes on top of the beef, a combination of potato and parsnip (and ½ a teaspoon of nutmeg) is used. It makes a much firmer and much tastier mash than potato alone. If you fancy having a plot of your own, then Incredible Edible Wakefield have mini plots available in central Wakefield.
