      Why? Best left to die back and nourish the plant

        Actually I have a load of parsley seedlings sprung up outside. Obviously didn't collect all my seeds. I'm going to pot them up and leave in my porch. Stuff seem to overwinter well in there as it backs onto my kitchen.

          Onions and garlic growing a treat. Borage has re seeded itself earlier this year and has lovely flowers. Cut back the mint a while back and now we have fresh mint leaves.
          Oh and the slugs, although in woolly scarves are thriving!

            That reminds me of the 1/2 plot am giving up,some leek seed heads fell to the ground and are germinating,even some still on the pods,have got them at home,meaning to pot them on,ho hum,am thinking NOW of getting some from the ground,if they were to be got up with a lump of soil,and put into a hole on the other plots,then hopefully they should carry on growing,until large enough to put out into their holes next year,plus thats another reminer to get me 2 rhubarb plants up,and move,

              slugs do not need anything to keep em warm,they are fat from eating your greens

                They are not just fat now they would be classed a clinically obese = good side to that is they will get so fat they won't be able to move soon....da dahh..safe greens (thats my hope anyway)

                  Been fairly chilly here recently, which has seen to the nasturtiums (hardy annual) which were happily flowering until a week or so ago. On the other hand, the half hardy lobelia and flat leaved parsley are still alive

                    According to my dear wife the box of "spare" seeds should all have gone in

                    I also have half a bag of onion sets from spring time that don't seem to have gone soft yet

                    Other than that I only have stuff that should have come out - the dreaded weeds....

                        My Oca has still not been knocked back by the frosts, normally all harvested and eaten by now. Still got rhubarb (Spring and Autumn cropping), parsley and strawberries.

                          I'm doing my garlic abit later this year.Last year it was in the ground for too long and went a bit strange and rusty. After X christmas for me. Think I'll put a few cloves in the freezer for a few days as some one suggested

                            I was up at the allotment today and noticed my summer snapdragons are still flowering. The foliage from the autumn raspberries hasn't died back yet, and the blackcurrant bushes are starting to bud. All the green manures are still growing too... the plot looks more like September than December.
