No dig diary, 16th October 2021
Somehow I suddenly seem to have loads to do this weekend. I’m not entirely sure how that happened 🙂 This morning I harvested all the ripe tomatoes from the polytunnel. I was expecting them all to be turned into pizza … Continue reading

Veg plot 2020: Last of the courgettes
