October Allotment Tour 2026 | Harvesting, Winter Growing & A New Brassica Cage

Welcome back to An Adventure in Taste and Thyme with Andy! In this mid-October allotment update, I'm taking you on a full tour of the plot as autumn arrives and preparations for winter begin. From harvesting potatoes, squashes and tomatoes to building a brand-new brassica cage, there's plenty happening around the allotment. This episode includes: ✅ Full October allotment tour ✅ Harvesting potatoes and winter squash ✅ Growing lettuce through winter ✅ Greenhouse and hoop bed updates ✅ Replacing an old brassica cage ✅ Green manure progress ✅ Green tomato harvest and plans for chutney ✅ Autumn gardening jobs and winter preparation ✅ DIY allotment improvements ✅ Smoking salmon and making smoked chilli powder As daylight hours shorten, I'm making the most of the remaining growing season while getting ready for winter crops and next year's harvests. Join me as I share what's worked, what hasn't, and the projects that will shape the allotment over the coming months.
