Well done. You can ask them to add the missing one

Depends on the weather - last year was wet and lost some to rot; if we get dry few weeks then will try and hold out to june for bigger bulbs. Definitely not watering from this point. Also thinking should have had some squash ready to stick in after…

Probably enough to get to Christmas!

Overwintered garlic getting to the end…

You’ve got a good list… shed beats no shed; how shonky is the access; how much old cr@p is there on the plot/how overgrown… any evidence of bindweed etc. reality is, unless super lucky, will most likely be a plot thats been abandoned… all mine have been!

We had Dunelm insulated curtains across an opening to a shoddy extension with no internal door. 10 degrees difference either side of them.

Been a journey…! Yeah, mild winter means I’ve sorted out lots would normally be facing in spring…

That’s it until February!

Mine are all done (southeast London). Reckon that sweetcorn decides when it’s autumn… just absolutely stops and gives up en masse…

I grow them uncovered and pretty much left alone… get the odd nibble from slugs bit other than that seem ok.

Not sure I’d be sleeping well at mine - random ex shop dummies dressed up and acting as scarecrows round various plots… any time near dusk when the place is deserted and you catch them out the corner of your eye…

Get one it’s a game changer for weeds!

Yes, it is.

Thinking £375

Plot rules tend to be elastic…! But any of the shed plastic grid bases you find on ebay etc would be fine; fabric underneath and infill with stones. I also have used a couple of pallets stacked to lift a small shed out of winter streams.

The lifts are a total lottery though at Greenwich…

Yes; I used to have a sheep fitted in a chimney we’ve now removed. They can make to the size you need and it made a massive difference.

Wildflowers not giving up either

Still getting courgettes mid October…

Definitely trying this!

Cool. Have been adding strips to pasta as a ki d of courgette pasta - works well! Cakes next…

Same here - seems to be two new ones every day…! Running out of recipes…

Maybe - my overwintered onions were massively disappointing this year - garlic came through though.
