We had wondered what we would do with Trev's huge pumpkin once the launch was over. Then someone told us that pumpkins can be used as hedgehog homes; filled with autumn leaves they make a snuggly place for them overwinter. 'What a wonderful idea!' we thought. So now the pumpkin is down on the allotment, (under the apple tree) waiting for an occupant to move in!!!. Lets hope it doesn't take long.
The last of the onions and the elephant garlic went in this afternoon and we have transferred some of the raspberries canes into a holding bed, along with the comfrey. We couldn't believe how lovely the allotments looked in the late afternoon sunshine and all agreed that it was so pleasant to enjoy the mild weather while we worked.
