Still getting a good harvest of leeks, winter radish, cabbage, and a kohlrabi (last one - we’d missed it when we harvested them all!)

Elsewhere on the allotment the winter radish/spinach bed is doing ok, as are the leeks. Very excited about the celeriac which is starting to swell up!

We’re on clay - the ground is much too heavy for that much digging!

Our local robin was also pretty excited by our work - lots of worms brought to the surface! Bit of a long range photo but I didn’t want to frighten him off

Excitements of the morning: our superb sweet potato harvest (from only two plants!), nice leeks and winter radishes, and (what a triumph) we got some of the allotment supply of manure before it all ran out. All in all a good morning!

Everyone keep your fingers crossed the fennel comes good (and the badger leaves us at least one fennel bulb) 🦡
