As others have said! Looking messy, tired n dishevelled!
But best laid plans of two years since are starting to fall into place!
Fallow ground! Not happy with, but shall now be cleared, tidied n garlic set for overwinter! Well happy with the two Apple tree's set for fan training!
And hopefully get the block paving finished!
Get my Daff's, tulips n hyacinths set this next few weeks n see what spring brings!
Oh! n got a few beds for overwintering stuff up n running! "Bonus"
Best get cracking on t' allotment Mumbles before they think it's vacant...............
They know I'm still there 😊 the plots either side of mine are even worse, always makes me feel better knowing even though I've left mine over summer it's not the worst there

Changes -
The strawberry runners planted last month alonside the wall on the left have all taken and are sending out their own runners
The tomatoes that were in with the squashes alongside the GH have been removed because of blight; the squashes have been tied up to the side of the GH as they were crawling across the lawn!
The grass seed, sown around the pond has grown and its green again. All the tadpoles have hopped it now.
Its turned very autumnal here with misty mornings and sunny afternoons. Its still getting up over 21c though, so we can't complain! Still picking beans, lettuce, tomatoes, leeks and amazingly strawberries(mara des bois).
The tomatoes, which are now leafless and therefore nearly invisible, have defied all common sense. In the last 2 weeks more than half of the days have had smith criteria with at least 3 full smith periods. I stripped off about half of the chocolate cherry fruit and brought it indoors. A couple have gone brown but most are fine, and there is no sign of blight on the plants (touch wood). The sungold are doing what sungold do - providing me with more than I can easily deal with.
The cucumber is dying slowly, but still producing the odd flower. I live in (probably vain) hope.
Kohl rabi and mizuna under the net and spring cabbage and carrots in the pots.

October
The blueberries have about finished and the net has gone. Otherwise mainly broccoli, rhubarb and the incredible yellow raspberries laden with fruit. The courgette bottom right is in a topless cold frame and is still producing courgettes at the rate of about 1 every 2 days.
