Had a couple of hours on the allotment this morning, drizzled before we set off then rain threatening all the time.
Dug up another 5 potato roots - really hard work, the ground was so hard.
Got another decent crop - 2 big bags - Cara and Desiree, only 10 more to go!
Here's a photo from the rubbish camera on my phone:
Got another load of radish - some really big ones:
Cleared the last of the sweetcorn - got 6 decent cobs and a few smaller ones.
Still some cobra beans left and got some more Chioggia Pink Beetroot - pickled some of it along with some shallots - first time I've tried pickling:
Got a few parsnips, a big bag of salad and pak choi and took one of the smaller pumpkins - about 10 inches long. Saving the two other bigger ones for Halloween.
Got another handful of ripe strawberries - can't remember getting them in October before!

a few people have said their strawberries are getting a 2nd crop this month. Not mine tho :(
I did my first pickling this year, loved it.
You plot looks very tidy :D
