Green manures are growing and the autumn colour is starting in the hedge line. #Autumn #Gardening #Allotment #NoDig #GreenManure

Two growing beds on an allotment are separated by sawdust and wood chip pathways. Some windfall apples lie scattered on the plot next door. A green manure mix on the beds is slowly growing to feed the soil life until all but the rye grass will be killed off by the winter frosts. Low growing white alyssum flowers line the edge of the beds. One bed is partly protected by a black metal fence.

View along a grassed pathway that divides an allotment plot on one side with a trained wild blackberry in need of pruning and a boundary hedge on the other. The common hawthorn in the hedge is yellowing while the guelder rose has already mostly turned red. Other species contained in this hedge are hornbeam, dog rose, field maple, dog wood, lime, wild cherry, wayfaring tree, lime, willow and hazel.
