Sunday turned out to be milder than the last few days with the thermometer making it up to 16.6°C. It was breezy and cloudy with spits and spots of rain in the air from midday onwards.
In view of the weather I decided to do some tidying up sorting out our onions, shallots and apples which have been stacked in boxes under the patio roof to keep dry. I made some space in the greenhouse for the onions and shallots. They’ll keep OK in the greenhouse unless any really severe frosts are threatened in which case they will need moving into the garage and covering with fleece for extra protection.
Below is what’s left of last year’s autumn sown onions lifted this summer and they’ve kept in good condition stored in the greenhouse since lifting.
The tomatoes are now turning red in the garden greenhouse after what seems like a very long wait. I also picked another couple of bunches of Himrod grapes but like most other fruit and vegetables this year they’ve under performed.
