Its Autumn, and many crops have already been harvested.
The more hardy plants are coming into their own as we wave goodbye to summer. I think this is a really interesting transitional period in the allotment, and perhaps a time that we don't photograph as much.
I have photographed two of my favorite working allotments today; Granddad Harold's and Uncle Rob's, two very different allotments.
Granddad Harold has tended his allotment for near on 40 years, and my family have grown up eating its produce. It is a true working allotment in the heart of the Cheshire countryside, surrounded by workshops and sheds. This is in complete contrast to Uncle Robs - an allotment created earlier this year in a traditional back garden.
Enjoy the photographs, let me know what you think, and tell me about your allotment at this time of year!

Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. What a great idea to start a blog whilst you're taking your degree. I started my blog at the same time as taking on my allotment, it's a great resource as I use it as a kind of online diary so I'm able to check back to particular dates. Good luck with your degree.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new blog. I see that you already found Maureen's Allotment Heaven. That's a good thing.
ReplyDeletePresently, I'm "doodling" with the idea of Inca Berries. They are apparently one of the only fruits that contain vitamin B12. How exciting!
Good luck with your plans, studies, and your gardens.
I love your strawberry barrel! :)
