Sweet potatoes

It's been a couple of weeks since we have been up to the farm-not much to do at the moment really. Outside, the leeks are the last crop left to harvest; they are looking very healthy so we'll leave them for a few more weeks. Inside, the mice have been enjoying our carrots, but the beans we've grown from seed are looking good.


We had to dig up the sweet potatoes this afternoon as the plants had started to die-too wet and cold I think. Ended up with quite a decent crop of baby specimens, perfect for roasting in the oven.

There's a definite autumnal feel in the air and with a storm forecast tonight, there's a working party getting together next Sunday to generally clean up and repair the new polytunnel. 

Here are a few photos I've taken over the last couple of weeks:







All the best,

Mike.
