Another piece of advice i can add to my list, thanks @Suffolk_lass.
Came across a small allotment in Lisbon next to an estuary. They still have climbing beans coming up in september. I love the bamboo fences.

I always find myself looking at the domestic veg growing when I'm on holiday too! And the allotments and smallholdings...

@Makingabobor2, i leave the healthy leaves and stalks on the rhubarb, since that feeds it for next season. Remove dead ones throughout the year. I've never removed the end of year's, just because i tend to not go to the allotment in winter, except for pruning. If you have some food like blood, fish & bone/ well rotted manure, can feed the rhubarb autumn time, but feed around the crown, don't cover it. All of this advice is what i learned on this group, just paying it forward.

Thanks for that. x
