November has been a quiet month for me this year. Last year I had parsnips, cabbage, leeks, sprouts, carrots and kale in the plot with potatoes in sacks, large onions in string bags and squash on the shelves.
This year, due to downsizing and the drought things are different; I still have sprouts and cabbage with a few small onions in bags, large carrots still in their barrel and quite a few large butternut left. We have just finished the last of the potatoes but there are no parsnips because of bad germination, the leeks got hit by hot weather and I didn't plant kale.
The Cream Crested Legbar chickens are in moult at the moment so no eggs. I've been working out their ages and I've now had them three years, around this time in 2015 at point of lay so I can add another five months to that. I expect a few more eggs after this moult and maybe a few in the Spring but they are coming up to laying retirement. If I want eggs then I need a couple of new hens for 2019.
Well, that's it for November, not a lot happening at the plot. Next stop December! Bye for now.
