So that's nearly it for the lovely summer fare now. Just a few tomatoes left, 1 aubergine and a few peppers... oh and a lot of chillies!
The beastly spider mites that took over the beans have found their way onto several other plants. Found this useful site so going to try them with the soapy water trick and if that fails nuke them with alcohol!
We are hoping to get an asparagus bed established this Autumn ready for planting next spring but are debating whether its OK to put it in the tunnel or whether we need to find a permanent spot for it outside. The former is quite straightforward to achieve the latter much more tricky as the list of jobs gets longer and longer. If anyone has experience of asparagus in a tunnel do let us know how you got on.
Being the first year doing this, we don't have much else to keep us going on into winter, so any suggestions for things we can plant now appreciated.

If I remember rightly this is a good time to sow root plants like Jerusalem Artichokes, Radish, Spring Onions, Turnips, Garlic?
Mental note to get you one of those cool garden planting calender things for Christmas :-)
