What's happening in the Potager in November ?
At the moment I don’t know where to look for all the wonderful Autumnal fruit and vegetables that the Potager is yielding! Squashes, more quinces, apples that could fill truck loads, root vegetables and all this lovely fruit and only 3 meals a day!
Having just purchased Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s new Veg Book, I am deep into concocting luscious vegetable meals.

The Potager - it's still full of goodness to harvest and sow!
Planting is not over yet and there are so many apple events to attend and the Squash season is well and truly underway.
The squash colours are amazing and I have also noticed that people have become a tad more adventurous and started growing different varieties from the usual Butternut Squash. Red Onion, Turk's Turban and Green Kabacha have become more prolific - stunning shapes and colours as well as tastes ranging from sweet to more earthy rooty flavours.
Still lots to do in the Potager and as we finalise our new Potager layout at our house, I am getting more and more excited by the day as it is taking shape. I am so excited. But I must hurry as I want to plant out my Asparagus crowns - first I need to build the raised bed!
Known as the harvest month, October is a bounty of vegetable goodness, along with fruit and pears. But you can still
So what can you still sow?

What’s happening in the Potager and beyond for October
I love this time of the year! Beginning of Autumn just smells like Autumn! Don’t you think? The squashes have started appearing in our gardens and I have already made a few delectable dishes such as soup and roasted root veg. This time of the year is perfect to dive into cook books and see what delicious “eats” you can cook up!
We are really busy here in our garden as we are in the throws of re-designing it for our workshops next year with a model Potager for you to enjoy and try out planting seeds, techniques etc... so we are very excited but there is lots to do! We will be sharing some of the work we are doing over the winter with you.
