OK , so there is not much going on in the allotment, but loads going on in the rugby pitch next door.First hard frosts, pruning and repairing the paths, and then back indoors to the warmth. Broad beans sown in the greenhouse (Witkiem Manita as recommended by 'Gardening Which). I usually sow them in November, but they get so battered by the weather I am trying a bit later. Hopefully early enough to beat the black fly.

There's apothecary based in a narrow boat on the Lee, anything good for back ache?
