Major clearing starts


Some decent sunny spells today tempted us down to the plot. The gales of yesterday had abated and in the sunshine it was pleasant with temperatures around average for early October.
On the plot it was time to start major tiding up before the onset of any prolonged bad weather. Our greenhouse was cleared of its tomato crop and the haulms consigned to the ever mounting compost heap. The runner bean wigwams were taken down and the canes stored in the greenhouse to keep the worst of the winter weather off them and prolong their useful life.
And finally the most important task of the day was to harvest out remaining quinces before they were either blown off the tree and bruised as they hit the ground or frosted.
