Winter is coming

A lot has changed in the last 2 months – there’s no need to water the patch every day and temperatures are dropping…

What we’re doing now

Once a week, we venture in to harvest Kale and Cos lettuce, both great Winter crops. We have enough to share with friends and still have some left over for ourselves.

Carrots, peas and chives are growing slowly (we learnt our lesson to limit how much we planted). Our only casualty has been the baby spinach, which never looked healthy and clearly didn’t like its environment…maybe it was the Kale…

It’s officially Autumn. Cool nights and brisk days have arrived. There is excitement around the Patch, with pretty much everyone planting new crops – walking around the crates is a guessing game of what-do-you-think-is-that-seedling?

On our list this season:

Snap sugar peas (handy to have our tomato trellis already installed)
Snow peas (Lisa likes them loads)
Lettuce (Cos)
Carrots (yes, we’re trying them again)
Chives
Baby spinach

Mystery interloper:

Kale – two plants have mysteriously arrived in our patch. Unknown source. We think we’ll eat them anyhow.
