Spinachy goodness

There's nowt to do in the allotment now so I popped up there briefly today just to check it was still there.

The spinach has done well in my absence so I harvested a load of it to take in to work to stop it going to seed.



The sprouts are also firming up nicely ready for Xmas.


The overwintering onions also look to be overwintering nicely so I should have a good early crop to tide me over when the ones in the garage run out.

And the Jerusalem Artichokes are now dying back. Now I've just got to work out what to do with them ;-).

And finally, the fennel. It's just not putting the effort in! 9 months after I planted it, it's still not swelling into bulbs. I'll give it another month or two, but this may be one to miss out next year.
