Still alive

Hello!

Just a quick update to say Matt's Patch is still alive although slowing down now.

We're still getting loads of raspberries from our autumn canes. There is even one cucumber still growing in the greenhouse!

Today Emily and I went and lifted all the potatoes that were remaining in the allotment. I wasn't holding out much hope given the prolonged dry weather earlier in the year.
However, we were rewarded well and best of all we got loads of Pink Fir Apples! I was panicking a bit because I could not remember where I planted them with the other spuds. I made a little map when I planted them but they were missing off that too! Anyway, I boiled up a couple to try and they are the finest potatoes I have tasted for a long while. Fantastic flavour and of course a great shape!

I'll upload some pics tomorrow (no promises though!)
