September and suddely the weather has turned. The shortening days are now accompanied by a nip in the early morning air. Went down to the plot today to inspect the seedling bricolli and cabbage plants, planted on Wednesday and with netting over the top. So far, so good, they’re looking happy.

One of my just-about-dead-so-I-bought-a-tray-for-50p purple brocollis has sprouted already, several months too early, but just enoughfor tonights dinner. The Christmas potaros are thriving, the question will be weather this far south they will be warm enough but we have fleece, and probably more importantly, confidence. What with the leeks, brAssicas, parsnips, as yet unplanted onions and garlic, the plot is going to be quite busy over the autumn and winter. Hooray
