I had thought that everything was done in the garden, but I had forgotten the beetroot. It’s still flourishing, it had been rather hidden by the courgette plants. We had a couple of roots for lunch today. Surprisingly it was still tender, and very tasty. I have plans to grow more on the allotment next year. We need a net to stop the birds pecking the plants out when they are young, or perhaps it’s rabbits that do the damage. Anyway, whatever it is, they pulled the experimental plants out of the ground time after time this year.
Here are some of the remaining beetroot plants.
No bootsale in Stratford this weekend, so I was reliably told. That is a pity. However, on checking the website it seems that I was misinformed, it’s on as usual.
The hurricane breeze has blown a lot of leaves off the trees.
