Into Winter Mode

Tuesday was another gloomy day in what seems like an endless stream of cold gloomy days. The weather has put allotment activities on hold. I've rather unknowingly slipped into winter mode where visits to the plot are only made to see what’s available for harvesting.

Surprisingly we've still got some tomatoes in the greenhouse. Some look a little worse for the cold night time temperatures but most still look good enough to use without having to convert them into a tomato sauce.

Still to be harvested from our home greenhouse is this year’s sweet pepper crop. It’s not been a good year for us and our entire crop is pictured below. One half decent size pepper and one not quite knowing whether to turn red or not.

Must check up to see if we still had tomatoes and peppers in the greenhouse at the end of October last year.
