Sowing and (hopefully) growing in autumn

Radicchio seedlings, Sep 2020

 I've since planted out some of my late summer seedlings, including radicchio, kale, pak choi and iceberg lettuce.  Some have gone in at the allotment, some at home.  To be honest, I'm not too confident about their chances--particularly at the allotment, with the slugs and pigeons there.  The ones here at home have been in long enough to have grown a little, so maybe they're established enough to withstand the slugs (no pigeon pressure here, thankfully).  I hope.

The husband has put in the new garlic crop, using the biggest heads saved from our harvest earlier this summer;  it's all at the allotment.  As the heads weren't very big or plentiful this year, he's on assignment to buy a few more from the shop for planting out, too.  I anticipate we will run out of our own garlic this winter unless we really ration it.

Still growing in seed trays:  spring cabbages.  Still to sow:  peas (got a few volunteer seedlings already), cauliflowers, broad beans.
