Pretty as a Picture

Just a few pics from Saturday.  We don't often see grasshoppers at this time of year but this one was enjoying the mild, if drizzly at times, weather.


Also a couple of nasturtium shots with the morning's dew still on the leaves.



Autumn Harvest 2016

A big THANK YOU to all visitors who came to our Harvest Event on Saturday afternoon.
We thought we were going to have a dry & sunny day at one point, but then we should have known there'd be a rain shower or two, there usually is when we have an event.  No fear though, we have tents, gazebos, a polytunnel & other places to shelter so nothing stops us enjoying ourselves.  We hope all our visitors had a good time and don't forget, if you fancy joining in with our allotment group you can come along any Weds or Sat, 10-12.  Just ring the bell on the gate or drop us an email to enquiries@diginstapleford.org.uk
Here are a few pics from the event.

Autumn work

When's the quiet time of year? Not now for sure! We're busy clearing away the summer veg and planting overwintering lettuces, chard, and chicory, sowing seeds of black radish, green mustard, etc., and harvesting potatoes!
