Fruit of the Garden - October's Harvest

This month we've been clearing down the garden ready for the winter. There are some plants still happily producing fruit and veg but some we've decided to just take what we can and leave it there.

We've dug up the last of our potatoes (the pink fir apples):


We've harvested the rest of the tomatoes - mostly ripe and a few green:


Joe cleaned up the shallots ready for moving into the kitchen.


We've harvested our sweetcorn. It's a little undersized, but we put these plants in quite late and are glad to get something from them.


The courgette plant is still going, producing marrows and courgettes depending on our vigilance.
