Tis the season when, if I don't pay attention, Haddock's can become completely over-run with weeds. So, where there are no longer crops (and if I have the time), I dig and leave fallow.
The vines are pruned, and I have put in a short row of Red Onions. In storage we have a mountain of Butternut Squashes, more Red Onions, and a variety of Apples. My glut of Tomatoes, Aubergines, and Courgettes, is all carefully bottled and stacked away.
The large bluey-green plants, centre above, are Purple Sprouting Broccoli which will begin to sprout in late March, and the three hens in the background, top picture, are still, for the moment, laying three eggs a day!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but I don't think we'll be going hungry this winter.

Sounds like abundance to me.
And your brussel sprouts look like mini palm trees. (sorry, just sipping my first coffee of the day, not quite awake, I think).
Do you get a frost where you live? The garden is beautiful, and I love your chicken coop! Three eggs a day!
I'm afraid we do, Kat. Sometimes as low as minus 15 C, but that's rare. Enough to wear gloves anyway!
This country France...is it far? It looks nice. Can't you and I just trade farms?
Great job the hens are doing..sounds like warm toasty feet and full bellies at your home this winter..well done Cro.
I'm ultra impressed Cro ( and a bit jealous as well.) Haddocks looks fantastic. My sprouts look a bit measly compared to yours.
You definitely have a green thumb. The hens look happy and healthy.
Bloody show-off!
Yeah, what Chris said. ('Course, if I had a garden that looked like that, I'd be showing off, too.)
The Haddock looks so well taken care of, you put us all to shame.
I know all this wonderful food doesn't come without a lot of love and hard work...enjoy your abundance Cro.
