While we have been away there was a shed broken into on next door's allotment, nothing was taken though. The police think that the people were looking for things they could sell. Also pumpkins on another plot had been used as a football. Very sad.
We decided that we would try to plant some things before the year is out. We bought some onion sets. We are starting with a variety called Radar. They are a good over wintering variety. We made the drills and have planted three rows to begin with. We will see how they get on. We watered them in and have protected them with a cloche to give them the best possible start.
As we won't be planting on the large bed until next year we dug it over and have covered it. We will plant garlic in a couple of weeks and also spinach and over wintering peas. It was lovely at the allotment today and as I was digging a little robin red breast came and sat on our fence.
