My sister gave me this little Penguin book on my birthday, full of handy advice to make me feel guilty. My allottment is looking very neglected at the moment, I still have giant courgettes and I have not been diligently filling up cold frames with seedlings like this lady. So I am unlikely to get 2' 6"(!) carrots next year. I do have a bumper crop of quinces again so I might make some membrillo, although last year it involved about five hours of stirring so maybe it will be jelly this time.
I wouldnt worry about your allotment. I hadnt been up to mine in a month and it's all just ticking along. I think most people go off the boil with gardening this time of year. Next spring we will be back potting, sewing and pricking out with gusto! lou x
ReplyDeleteLove the look of this book although I'm afraid we certainly aren't as methodical! It's been a pretty poor year in our veggie patch, don't know why... savannah's just brought in a couple of late strawberries for lunch though so better than nothing!
