Lavender to scent our smalls and keep the clothes moths from our woollens. It is usually harvested in late summer, but we had little opportunity to do any allotmenting in 2011. Scant pickings, but the scent cheered us up enormously.
We've established a row of eight Lavender Angustifolia bushes that provide a permanent wildlife corridor across the plot for allotment critters. We presume this has been mapped as integral to the site's logistics infrastructure, because the allotment kittehs go out of their way to patrol this line in their wanderings.
We dug and prepared the last 3 of the 9 beds and planted the King Edward and jerusalem artichoke tubers for 2012. The photographs are a bit uninspired but the light was fading and we were cold and ready to go home.
