I hate this autumnal equinox time of year. The rapidly shortening days really grind me down. So dark already.

Managed to squeeze in one of our twilight #allotment trips. The #polytunnel tomatoes are still ripening fruit. There are signs of blight on the lower stems of 4 maybe 5 plants. 

I've now stripped off almost all the leaves.

Slowly we have chillies ripening too and got our first Big Black Mamma chillies today.

Still got skinny eggplants and red capsicums happening too.

 Today is also the day we decided to bring all the #allotment pumpkins in, they fill the table in the polytunnel. We have three Queensland Blue, four Uchiki Kuri, six Burgess Buttercup, and three large plus one medium "volunteer" of unknown type (and yet to be discovered culinary value).

Some good foodage there, with very little care needed.
