Plot still emptier

We took away the last of the tomatoes and the (beautiful!) lettuce plants yesterday. There were a good few tomatoes rotting where they'd fallen, so hopefully next year we'll have some "volunteers".

The sweary one put in our plot number (it's 5) in the mandated corner. It's the corner least likely to be seen by anyone, but hey, who cares?

We also thinned out the onions. I'm really quite excited about them, actually. We have some bulbs already (which we plonked back into the ground) and I am hoping that next year we'll have full-grown actual onions to enjoy. Many red onions were flourishing, despite the cramped conditions. I'm not sure what the white ones will turn into, but we'll find out some time next year, I guess.

The plot is pretty much ready for the winter now. We keep meaning to learn the lesson of our plot-neighbour and put some seaweed (readily available around here) in a foot or so down, but we have yet to manage it. Some year, I guess.
