Vivi’s Kitchen Garden: Crop & Chop & Drop (goodbye tomatoes, hello next crop).

Having spotted a tiny amount of blight on one of my tomato plants I decide to take the whole lot out. After cropping the remaining fruit I use my chop and drop technique on the remaining plant material and in doing so I prepare the first of the beds for winter. Once the tomatoes are cleared I can think about the follow-on crops of broad beans and garlic. My broad beans are a combination of ‘Aquadulce Claudia’ and ‘Super Aquadulce’……suitable for autumn sowing.
