The Frost has arrived.

Are you feeling cold like me and not liking this weather very much. Even though time is flying by in general, allotment time has slowed right down nearly to a halt. Popped in there during the week for a check up and radishes are up and growing not sure what they will be like now after the frost but my lettuces did nothing again except food for some hungry animal. I'm going to sow some in a seed tray and put them in the my little plastic greenhouse and see how they do then. The cauliflowers are doing well out in it, one tray has been eaten slightly but nothing to worry about. Sowed some carrot seed I brought last weekend especially for autumn sowing to have some for spring so see how they go. I put them in a plant container not in the ground. May ground sow some up at the allotment if I go up there Tomorrow (Sunday) but not sure if its a bit too cold even with a cloche.

In the back garden there is a pumpkin growing which I have left to see how it goes. I don't think now it may survive after the frost and also the chickens got out today and started digging up its roots but i'll leave it and see.

My chilli plant has started growing again in the conservatory and is starting to produce fruit. The tomatoes in there have produced some fruit but nothing to get excited about so may cut off the ones that have grown and get rid.

Chickens are doing well and the brown one is still laying (good girl) and the black one is still moulting. Hoping to get a white egg layer next year and also hope the the black one starts laying in Spring.

Morris had put on weight i'm sure and is a cute & cuddly as ever except when he does a poof on you and boy that stinks. It must be the way I tickle his tummy as it only happens to me.

I've been baking made two Christmas cakes and also 3 jars of chutney with a courgette and aubergine that i'd grown. I did a made up recipe so it should be interesting or not as the case maybe seeing the pumpkin lasgane which wasn't very nice and we had to have bacon and eggs instead for dinner the other evening. My pickled onions that i've grown and pickled will be ready around Christmas as we may be having cold meat and hors-d'oeuvres.

Happy bonfire's night tomorrow and enjoy the evening if your having fireworks or going to watch them....
