So, you sow them in November and then they sleep until spring and then begin to grow, like we do it with garlic?
....

(I read the link now. You have to sowe them inside your house and let them stay there over the winter. Well, now I know why it works in October and November ).Last edited by Iris_Germany; 23-11-2021, 11:11 PM.

Tipped three barrow loads of soil into my new raised bed.
Wrapped up my pollarded pepper plants to try and overwinter them outdoors: I put three stakes around each one, then pack them with straw and wool, before putting an old compost bag over the top of each one to hold it all in and keep the rain out.

Filled 3 large bags with leaves I'd raked from the garden, they'll be staying behind the shed for a year or so until they're broken down.

Dug out a pink geranium & planted it in a pot next to the house for shelter. Then planted Thermidome & Early Purple Wight garlic where it was,next to the blackberry & the plum tree,topped it off with some really old compost to hopefully stop some weeds. Covered with metal shelving & grape vine cut up pieces to keep our cat off. Haven’t grown garlic in this spot before,the grounds really fertile weeds love it there & the moons waning,good time for root vegetables.

Shooting some pictures for you, so you can see what I am talking about ...
And I had some tulip bulbs which I planted under the small fruit trees on the right side. They are peaches, Queen Victoria plum and little apple trees. Hopefully, the tulips bloom, though they are under the trees and get therefore shade from above.
In automn I did a lot of new beds and things. Now, it rather looks like a mess allover, because I could not finish. The allotment board does not like this. Everything has to be neat at every time.
The big Hügel-Bed is on the left side. It looks like under construction, but I made this to avoid premature erosion. The framework and the tarpe I put away in spring.
My EU-pallet beds have to be replaced by new ones. They are awfully broken and old. I planted garlic in all three beds. Germidour looking good (Mostly. What happened to the row on the left? Vanished, it seems). Messidrome taking their time obviously. Nearly nothing to see. Only here and there a sprout.
And there is the old greenhouse, which I have to repair in spring too.

Cut down most of my pepper plants and pulled them out, as well as cutting back three of them to a trunk in an attempt to overwinter them outside.
Ripped up a whole load of creeping bent and lined the bottom of my new raised bed with it, then chucked in the dead weed roots I emptied out yesterday, and the final cut of comfrey.
Emptied out the pepper containers (apart from the three I'm trying to overwinter) into the raised bed, also.

Finished making the raised bed and line the sides with plastic.
Also took down half of my dead bean plants, and emptied the weed drowning barrel.

Transplanted a few strawberry plants, removed the dead leaves from the brassicas, and collected up a big sack of sycamore leaves.
