• Preserve gluts of aubergine and tomatoes etc in pickles and chutneys
• Check carrots, onions, garlic, potatoes and tomatoes in storage discarding any spoilt produce

Every year varies according to the weather and what we feel like trying / repeating. and so I will keep updating the list if things change.  However the above is the general outline of what will be happening on the veg plot in Catalunya for  October.  Please let me know if there are other things which vegetable growers in Spain could be doing.  Thanks
