I’ve harvested the garlic now. A pretty good harvest; just a few had rotted and went straight to the compost bin.

Visits to the allotment are quite generic at this time of year. Just weeding and deadheading and making sure everything’s ok. I’ve cleared the nigella out of Bed 3 and made a start at clearing / tidying the trellis bed now.

It’s going to take a while and I’ve still not got the plants right. While the toadflax and corn cockles have gone to seed, the everlasting pea has fallen forward onto it. I might need to give up on the surviving peas and find the best long-lasting perennials for that provide filler for longer. I think some larger scale logs would be good for better blocking and tessellation.
