There is now a definite Autumn feel to the garden. I have cleared all the tomato plants from the greenhouse and will plant some winter lettuces soon. There are still some small green peppers to be picked. These have been really successful this year.
Bill mowed the grass yesterday and says he may only have to do one more mowing before the winter. There is lots of clearing up to be done and shrubs and trees cut back - should be out there doing it now instead of writing this!
Things successful this year were tomatoes (in the greenhouse), peppers, chillies, blueberries, blackcurrants, kale, leeks, sprouts, chard, lettuce, garlic, shallots, french and runner beans, beetroot.
Not so successful were my outdoor tomatoes, courgettes (very feeble), potatoes grown in containers (they just rotted). There are some radishes but they are getting attacked by slugs. Fortunately if my vegetables fail I can go to Sainsburys!
