The second Sunday of October, not long now until the clock go back. The days and plots draw in. The time of the first frosts, allotment digging and composting.
Clear away the summer sprawl. Pack away tipis and bean poles now. It is time to tidy but maybe not too much, perhaps resist any urge to clear everything away. Leave some habitat for local wildlife if you can. We like to allow the plot to settle for a while. A few skeleton plants of late summer. Perhaps we’ll wait a little longer to cut the fennel.
