Sat 24th September we raided Wyevale for the 50p seed clearout. Got loads!

Sowed various seeds that should grow over the winter in the greenhouse:
2 tubs Early Nantes carrots
24 lettuce Winter Gem
24 strawberry Sarian
24 cauliflower All Year Round
12 cabbage Durham Early
12 cabbage Winter Jewel
1 tub of garlic

The lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower and strawberries were all sprouting within a few days. These will be transplanted into pots in the greenhouse when they're big enough.
The carrot tubs will probably stay in the greenhouse all winter. Hopefully they'll be ready in spring.
The first garlic clove was showing a small green shoot within a week. The garlic tub will stay outside through the winter so that the frost gets to it and makes the bulbs split.

I've dug up half the potato bed - got one bucket of new potatoes. The other half will be dug up when the bucket is empty!
We've picked loads of apples. Some have been peeled and sliced and frozen - these will make good crumbles throughout the winter. I still have loads of blackberries frozen too, so we'll have variety with crumbles etc. We've also had apple sauce with our roast this weekend.
