Bountiful(ish) harvest

This year, our company turned a plot of grass behind the office into approximately 20 small allotments for employees.

I was lucky enough to get a plot, and had a go at growing some vegetables. It was a bit of a pilot for everyone as there is quite a significant population of gophers and snowshoe hares in the neighbourhood which while very cute, seemed to have a penchant for certain vegetables, especially my beans.
















However, despite a few teething problems I got a reasonable harvest of potatoes, carrots, courgettes and a couple of tomatoes before the frosts hit last week, so I was quite pleased.
