Hi. Thanks for the info. It was as I was expecting really. Just needed a second opinion.

All growing in the greenhouse and pretty much ready to go out:

Leeks
Spring onions
Courgette
Runner beans

Ta

Could you guys please help me with with a "4 section crop rotation".

My first year has been:
Legumes
Brassicas
Potatoes
Onions and roots

How should year 2 be planted?

Many thanks.

French and runner beans from the freezer.

WOW!!!!! I hope you still have room in your freezer

Made my first lot of pumpkin soup on Saturday. Yummy!

Used the smallest pumpkin, weighing in at 3.7 kilos! I used half of it for soup to serve 6. So, that means that my smallest pumpkin will make soup for 12. FAB!!

Yes, we love pumpkin soup! Think I'll keep them in the greenhouse and use them 'fresh' each time. I'll 'soup' a whole one each time - that way I won't need to buy another freezer!!!!! I haven't fed The Plot anything fancy. It had laid fallow for a couple of years before I got it - maybe that is why...

These are now sitting in my greenhouse to finish curing.

p.s. please excuse the freaky hair and closed eyes (hubby took 2 pics, both of which were when my eyes were shut).

Thanks everyone. Yes, the whole plot is doing really well. I've had an amazing first year.

I came back from holiday to find this Whopper on my plot. It's vital statistics were:- Weight:7.5 kilos, Length:21 inches, Girth:15.5 inches.

I gave it to a friend who took 3 meals for herself and her husband to get through it all.

Thanks Primrose. My thoughts exactly. My plot neighbour had all his ripe tomatoes taken from his greenhouse a week ago - no vandalism, just ripe tomatoes missing! I've managed to do really well this year despite beginning a little late. Some things haven't worked perfectly, such as the aubergines wh...

They are all mostly orange now, and the plants have died back. Should I harvest them now, and bring them home to cure in the greenhouse?

Oh yikes! I'll have to watch out with the kale then. They're grown a bit since this photo too!

Yes, it's at home. At the top of the garden. I'd love to be able to have a heated propogator, but I think that could be an Ask Too Far. It's taken years of working on Mr Piglet for him to agree to a greenhouse at all. Still, never say never!

I think you may well be right!

Came home with a lovely courgette, some peas, lots of french beans. Even Mr Piglet liked the courgette (& that's saying something!), french beans were lovely, and the peas were far far tastier than even the Birds Eye ones (other pea providers are available!).
