I then used the plastic hoops and the metal rods to make the frame and then clipped the supplied netting in place. The kit also came with plastic sheeting too. I must ask him where he got them in case I need more.

Putting the Cloches to use
I love using my Cloches. My Dad bought me a pair of the like I have never seen before and I got to use them up my allotment this week as my allotment neighbour - Phil - had left me some winter cabbage plants which were duly planted out.

Back!
Can't believe it has been 2 months since I last updated the blog.
I always knew that September would be difficult - away for 2 week's holiday in the States and then away the following weekend, but I did hope that I would get some blogging done during October.
Instead I have been busy harvesting. The apple tree in the garden yielded the best ever crop and every weekend in October I was pealing and stewing. I have a drawer full of stewed apple in the freezer. Then when I thought I had finished, my parents gave me another carrier bag full.
I am not sure which variety my apple tree is. It is a cooking apple and the skins are quite waxy. The flesh is very white and is quite frothy when stewed. The above are not the best samples.
I have also been harvesting leeks and some purple sprouting and brussels. In fact one row of the sprouts are quite good - I need to check back and find out which variety they were.
