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.
…..and Rosie steels the show!

Wow nice final harvest of tomatoes. I loved seeing your green fingers sure sign of working in the tomato patch.
Really helpful yet again. Thanks.
Hiya Vivi from my Poppy 🐶to your Poppy 🐱 Lol I do hope you did not get caught in the rain home?. Nice harvest this year for tomatoes for most much better than last. Take care Luv Ontario Canada Thankyou 🐝🇨🇦
Hello Vivi. Now that’s a tomato harvest! Hi Rosie!😉💗💗💗
Yourday was much like ours, but I was cleaning up a flower bed on the south side of the house! I find I am making hood use of an old garden chair and my kneeler too! whether it is deep leaning the flower bed or pruning and my lilacs and snipping the bits into the green bin, I can get more done and work longer, when my knees and hips get to rest while I still get the job done!
Fantasticly busy and productive dayxx
This guy said we was getting a wet summer this year 🤷♀️ got that wrong? lv Irene 😘 xx

You look a million bucks. Hope you're feeling as good.!
I like the bitterness of broad bean skins but harvest them medium sized before they're tough 🙂 You've inspired me to wait and allow more green tomatoes to ripen rather than use them underripe, I'm not keen on chutney or anything like that either, usually throw them in a curry but the flavour has been too good this year to waste.
Great haul of tomatoes. Can not believe you are still getting food out of your garden
I grow “Favas “ or broad beans here in Pacific Northwest of Canada. I love them but hardly anyone at my allotment grows them. They are suggested as a fall cover crop here and many gardeners find them tedious to shell and then skin. But they tastes divine and are worth it! The variety I grow is Sweet Lorraine and it’s flowers are a beautiful magenta and white. Stunning! Thank you for video!🐇🍁💕
Wow, great harvest!
Lovely harvest and for a first timer like me it's great to see the winter prep for beds. Thanks Vivi.
Green chutney is good
What a lovely bounty of tomatoes.
I was telling my parents about you and your YouTube channel.
My parents had a horrible car accident at the beginning of October and I’ve been looking after them, especially my mum. I got my dad to harvest his green tomatoes and made green tomato chutney with my mum and said Vivi wouldn’t like this 😂 she’s not a chutney girl 😂
Thankfully it took her mind off things and she was impressed by your allotment.
So, guess who got to take home a lot of chutney?!!!! Yep me. Mum did keep a small pot for them to have.
Love the crop, chop and drop idea. Definitely makes sense.
It was blustery in Norfolk and watching this reminded me of my trip to Cromer and sherringham 😂
Thank you for your company xx
I'm chopping and dropping in a different way today. In the kitchen! It's either one or the other. Good to have you back and thanks for keeping me company. Those who crop together chop together. 😘
nice listening and watching too
Job well done Vivi.
🌸
I've never heard that saying "Never Eat Shredded Wheat" for North, East, South, & West. I luv it. I always learn something from your channel. Thx
