With the change of cooler weather comes the removal of almost all that remains of the Summer/Autumn crops. We have spent a busy two days in the garden planting winter seeds and seedlings. This includes – all year lettuce mix, a mixed variety of spinach, broad beans, cauliflower, broccoli, brussel sprouts, carrots, leeks and onions. There’s still plenty of okra flowers growing so I left that in. There’s a corn cob or two left and a few cucumbers on their vines. They’ll be pulled out soon to make room for what we hope will be a bumper crop this year.

I am always amazed at how much you manage to grow.

Yes. Me too. I plant more seeds than I need because sometimes only half sprout. Besides, I like variety. 🙂

Yes. Also I planted more seeds because they don’t all come up. This time every one of them sprouted. I may need to re-pot some cauliflower into large garden pots so not to be strangled by having them to close. If they all come up, everyone in the street will be blessed. Not sure about in the UK but fresh vegetable prices have skyrocketed since covid.
