November digging

What a busy day on the plot.

I went down at half ten, and have just come back absolutely freezing! A good five hours digging and planting.

I've decided to turn the plot into a girly space, and will divide it into 4 individual beds, with room at the end for some fruit canes. So bed one dug over and planted with 3 rows of strong garlic, two rows of red onions and 2 rows of white onions. Produce harvested include leeks, savoy cabbage, red and white cabbage, and some calabrise.

Once the parsnips have had the frost on them and I harvest them, that bed will house cauli, swede, carrots and brussel sprouts. The other two beds will be spuds, and lastly salad veg.
I will plant some fruit canes next weekend, and leave a patch for the pumpkins too.

All manor of spring bulbs will go down too, as a memory border for mum and dad.

Sorted!

Now to go and prepare the veg for tea. Simples!!
