It was another windy day on Tuesday, with the highest gust speed of the last couple of days reserved for the early hours of this morning. Like yesterday it was pretty mild once again with plenty of sunny spells but the wind remained strong throughout the day although not as bad as Monday.
We visited the plot in the afternoon to see exactly what damage, if any, the wind had done. Certainly the plot looks worse for wear now as the long dry spell and two days of gale force winds take effect.
It was a surprise to discover that our quinces were still on the tree, although the tree has developed a lean and the leaves look a little yellow due the wind, dryness and of course the approach of autumn.
Our runner beans had a rather drunken lean to them as well but at least they are still upright and hopefully will produce some more beans before the end of the season.
We also managed to do some planting and our winter brassica bed is now fully planted up with a mixture of bought in plants and home grown plants. Details of our planting today can be found here.
