The last of the potager

It was back in July I wrote about our potager, After the first frosts it is now on its last legs...

The final crop we planted was two rows of Haricot beans back in August after our neighbour Antony was planting his second crop... They have been doing really well and we have had 5 kgs of beans with plenty more growing, however the frost has taken its toll..


We still have a supply of carrots and beetroot...

 
The red and chilly peppers are holding in there JUST...

 
But what surprises me is that we still have a few eatable tomatoes...


We still have some leeks but they are not growing well at all and the brassicas just don't appear to grow here and what has grown has been food for so many bugs...

But overall it will soon be time for the Rotavator in preparation for next year....


Roll on the spring I can't wait....
