It’s the time of year when harvesting on the plot is replaced by stored produce from the summer harvests either from the freezer or potatoes stored in boxes in the garage. Early October was still capable of producing a plentiful supply of fresh goodies from the plot but by the month’s end the summer bounty has come to an end although we still have a plentiful supply of winter vegetables such as carrots, parsnips and cabbage.
Rainfall was lower than average in October with a little more than half the expected rainfall in the month. Rainfall was recorded on 17 days in the month but it only exceeded 2mm on 3 of those days.

October started and ended on with reasonably mild days but in between the weather was cooler and towards the end of the month we had our first autumn frost, enough to blacken the dahlias and put a stop to any more cut flowers.
