Another lovely wreath made by Kitchen Garden follower Justine Dixon. She's made dried ones from homegrown Virginia creeper vines, lavender, straw flowers & echinops 🫶

Making wreaths this year? Show us!

It’s looking like a pretty poor weekend weather-wise across much of the UK.
Here’s a (by no means comprehensive!) list to get you thinking and help protect your plot.

Feel free to add your own tips in the comments — let’s make this a really useful thread that helps everyone. 🫶

👉 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿! SLUGS: As always, slugs continue to be a presence in the garden,
especially under cover in greenhouses and polytunnels. Check under pots for any slimy visitors, and move them to a wild area to winter under piles of leaves.

Our Kumquat tree is coming along nicely! In the kitchen, glass roof, north-facing. Plenty of light, not too hot in summer, it loves it here!

More on the Trombocino squashes, from KG follower Debra Bodger: "I grew them for the first time this year - some of the big ones curing in the greenhouse plus we ate loads of the little ones through the summer as an alternative to courgette. Will certainly grow them again 🙂"

Remember, remember, the 5th of November... before you light bonfires tonight, or over the next few nights, (and so on!) please check for these little ones... 🫶

Ok, so we've carved a pumpkin for tonight. Popped it in the fridge to keep it fresh. His hat didn't fit, as you can see, so it was shoved in his mouth 🤣🤣 🎃

Show us your pumpkins... ⏬

Heartbreaking news from Hastings, where vandals broke into the Lower Torfield allotments and torched a shed.
Sadly, it’s not an isolated case. Lock up, stay alert, and support your fellow growers — our plots are worth protecting.

Cane storage! Some followers are using old drainpipe. Here's an idea from Jennifer Cannon :

"I upended an old greenhouse's racking unit and it has been serving me as upright storage. Those rogue canes are a menace!"

Share your storage tips with us!
