Join Elaine and Julia for a whimsical yet insightful episode of the Potty Plotters Plotcast. As the autumn leaves paint the allotment in vibrant hues, the duo reflect on the beauty of the season's changes. From the striking red foliage of blueberry bushes to the fern-like asparagus beds, the plotters are captivated by nature's poetry.

The episode takes a culinary turn as Julia shares her laminated recipe cards, revealing her method for creating a delicious spiced pumpkin cake. Gareth contributes with a versatile egg fried rice recipe, perfect for using up allotment-grown vegetables. Lisa from Nottingham sends in her roasted tomato and pasta dish, showcasing the bounty of the harvest season.

Elaine offers a masterclass in making raspberry jam, emphasising the simplicity of using just raspberries and granulated sugar. The plotters also discuss the importance of replenishing soil nutrients after heavy rains, with tips on using farmyard manure and chicken pellets to enrich the garden for the next growing season.

In a quirky twist, Elaine experiments with drying dahlia tubers using cat litter, while Julia contemplates the fate of her frost-affected loofah plants.
