New Year for the Fagley Gardening Team

We may not have had the greatest summer, but the veg plot certainly hasn't objected to all the rain!
We return to fine some truly mammoth courgettes and runner beans and even the sweetcorn plants have come on great. The tomato plants are weighed down with fruits though a little more sunshine is in order before they ripen.

 



The strawberries haven't fared so well due to the constant attention of the ever present gulls and pigeons and we seriously need to consider ways of discouraging the local feline population.

Over the next few weeks, the garden team will meet to harvest the produce and tidy up the veg beds. We also need to think about the winter crops we we like to grow.
