This is the time when the crops are finishing and the plot is starting to clear ready for digging. Once an area is cleared the soil is then dug over and either covered with manure or a green manure is sown.

The sweetcorn is finished in one bed so I have cut the tops down to let me get to the squash below. The carrots are out of the ground and the whole area has been dug over. The runner beans are finished and have been removed and so has the beetroot.

The brassica bed is nearly empty and will soon be cleared, ready for digging over.
