New beds

Its a long time since I've blogged anything about the allotment. But its getting into winter properly now, there's not much going on at plot 28a. Apart from....our new raised beds! Its very exciting to finally be putting them in so we can be more organised for next year. 

This was the first one that Seamus and I put in.
We've managed to place a few more now, but it will be a while before they are all in place.



We've had to move the onions and the cabbage and cavelo nero that we'd already put in into the new beds as they were in the way. 
As we're so close to the trees our plot is totally covered by the falling leaves, I've collected 4 bags so far to make leaf mould, but there's a million more to collect!
Its almost like its snowing leaves when its windy...
