My last visit to the allotments to take photographs was on 26th October 2012. I didn’t manage to get to the site during most of the harvesting season, but there was still much produce still in evidence. Some of the winter crops, like leeks and sprouts were also well under way.
It was also good to see that at least one of the bee hives in the neighbouring field had been salvaged. The bee colony had not been in great condition but hopefully it will thrive.
It was a cool damp day, but the Autumn colours of the leaves were particularly vibrant this year. Colourful chard leaves also brought some brightness to an otherwise quite sombre day. There were plenty of mushrooms around in the adjacent fields.
Some people were hard at work just starting out on preparing their plot and putting up fencing ready for next year.
