I made a short trip to the allotment today to out the strawberries that we had cultivated from runners earlier this autumn, this means that the strawberry bed is now fully populated. As the weather was good, I also took a couple of update snaps.

The shot looking south shows the new compost heap as well as the winter greens.

I also harvested a few sprouts from the plants that are looking significantly better for last week’s bit of TLC.
There should be sprouts for Christmas
The shot looking north shows the field beans that we have sown as green manure on what will be the potato beds next year. This is the first time that we’ve tried a green manure, so it will be interesting to see how this works out.
