What is good to harvest in October
October is the month of abundance in the garden with fruits and vegetables aplenty. Here is what is good to harvest this month and what other jobs there are to do
The month of October is harvest time, a month where you can harvest both summer and autumn fruit and vegetables.
Fruits
Fruits in your garden should be ripe and ready to pick in October.
Soft fruits - If you are lucky and the weather remains mild, then you could still be harvesting your summer soft fruits. Perhaps you are still
picking the last of your strawberries, raspberries or plums but your blackberries should still be cropping heavily and will be perfectly sweet.
Elderberries - You might have elderberries growing on the edges of your garden. Elderberries are full of antioxidants and vitamins that can boost your immune system but remember you must cook your elderberries by boiling for at least half an hour to neutralise the toxins they contain.
Fruit trees – These are ladened with bounty and the apples will still be ripening nicely whilst the pears will be ready to drop.
Vegetables
October is so bountiful that the list of vegetables to harvest is long! Aubergines are fat and succulent whilst butternut squashes are delicious and pumpkins ripe for the picking in readiness for Halloween.
Greenhouse - In the greenhouse tomatoes are finishing their long summer of fruiting and cucumbers are still perfect to adorn your salads.
Greens and alliums - Greens such as spinach, kale and broccoli are deliciously nutritious, and regular picking of leaves or heads encourages more to grow. Cabbages that were sown in May are now large and ready to eat and cauliflowers have impressive white heads, whilst onions and leeks are large and ready for lifting, drying and storing for over winter eating.
Root vegetables - Get your fork out to carefully dig late potatoes, turnips, swedes, and carrots. If you can lift these carefully and avoid damaging the vegetables they can then be stored in a cool, dry place and enjoyed for many months.
Think ahead and sow some seeds
If you live somewhere where autumn frosts are imminent then October might be your last chance to sow your overwintering beans and peas, but you will need to cover them with some kind of protection, perhaps a frame, cloche or fleece.
You can also plant out your spring cabbages for succulent and delicious early spring greens. October is the month of plentiful harvest in the garden, but it is also a time to look forward and think about next year’s garden.

A Good Read
If It Bleeds
By Stephen King
This is a collection of four compelling novellas that showcase King’s mastery of storytelling.
Mr. Harrigan’s Phone: Craig, a young boy in a small town, befriends the reclusive and wealthy Mr. Harrigan. After Mr. Harrigan’s death, Craig continues to text his old phone, which was buried with him, and astonishingly, receives responses. The story explores themes of friendship, technology, and the supernatural consequences of the digital age.
The Life of Chuck: This novella is told in three acts, beginning with the end. It chronicles the life of Chuck Krantz in reverse, starting with the apocalypse and moving backward to his childhood. The story is a meditation on the significance of individual lives and the marks they leave on the world, blending reality with magical realism.
If It Bleeds: A sequel to another story, “The Outsider,” this novella follows Holly Gibney of the Finders Keepers detective agency as she investigates a school bombing. Holly discovers that the reporter on the scene, Chet Ondowsky, is not who he seems. As she digs deeper, she uncovers a shape-shifting entity that feeds on human suffering, leading to a tense confrontation. This story highlights themes of resilience and the battle between good and evil.
Rat: Drew Larson, a struggling writer, retreats to a remote cabin to finish his novel. Stricken with writer’s block and a series of unfortunate events, he makes a Faustian bargain with a rat, trading his success for a friend’s life. The story examines the dark side of ambition, the cost of creativity, and the moral dilemmas faced by individuals in pursuit of their dreams.
Stephen King’s ability to weave intricate tales that
delve deep into the human psyche is legendary. And these four unconnected novellas are perfect for a bit of spooky-yet-easily digestible Halloween reading.
The Haunting of Aveline Jones
By Phi Hickes
This enchanting and eerie tale tells the story of Aveline Jones, a young girl who is sent to stay with her Aunt Lilian in the seaside town of Malmouth during her autumn break. While exploring the town, Aveline stumbles upon a dusty old book of ghost stories in a second-hand bookstore. Intrigued by the tales within, she discovers that one of the stories involves a girl named Primrose Penberthy who mysteriously disappeared thirty years ago.
As Aveline delves deeper into the book, she starts experiencing strange occurrences and eerie sightings, leading her to believe that Primrose’s ghost is trying to communicate with her. Determined to uncover the truth, Aveline investigates Primrose’s disappearance, despite her aunt’s warnings and the townspeople’s reluctance to discuss the past.
Aveline’s curiosity leads her to uncover dark secrets about Malmouth and its history. She learns that Primrose’s disappearance is tied to a chilling legend and that the ghostly encounters she experiences are linked to a malevolent presence in the town. Will Aveline and her new friend Will, be brave enough to confront the supernatural forces at play, and bring peace to Primrose’s restless spirit?
“The Haunting of Aveline Jones” is a suspenseful and atmospheric tale of courage, mystery, and the supernatural. Perfect for an October fireside read.

Fast healing from sports injuries using modern technology
“I was out of pain after four days and able to do a triathlon”
Perrin Haydon-Rowe is a company director in her early fifties who lives with her family in ‘the smallest city in England’. As a keen sportswoman, fast recovery from pain and injury is important to Perrin.
“I first heard about Somerset Health Practice from many of my Crossfit friends and also parents from school – and I’ve been going to Matthew for two years. He’s treated me for several issues, including knee pain following a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and calf sprain ahead of a triathlon.
“I had previously seen a physiotherapist but I was open to different treatment methods. At the clinic, I have had ultrasound scans for diagnosis, along with the technology of Laser and PEMF machines plus traditional massage, manipulation and acupuncture.
“My most recent injury was a nasty calf sprain that prevented me from training for a triathlon – swimming cycling and running. I saw Matthew four times over a week and rested between sessions. The pain disappeared following the final session and has not returned.”
Matthew explains, “PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) therapy can heal injuries, fractures and pain amazingly quickly. I combined this with Laser therapy, which prompts the body’s own healing mechanisms to work faster and more efficiently. I was delighted that Perrin was so quickly out of pain and able to do her triathlon.”
Perrin adds, “I would recommend Matthew because he really understands biomechanics
and the body - and the role of the brain and mental state in fitness. He is exceptionally skilled at identifying problems and solving them with a variety of traditional and ultra- modern therapies.”
Exclusive offer
Somerset Health Practice is making a special, exclusive offer to LocalReach readers – A free Ultrasound scan, worth £130.
*Offer open to the first 5 readers to book shockwave sessions, quoting the offer code ‘ON BOARD OCTOBER ’
Call 01458 860392 before 31st October.

The process of change
There has been an increasing fascination with transformational change known as quantum change. Previously limited to stories within religious scriptures pertaining to a sudden and dramatic enduring change of a person’s spiritual, mental and emotional behaviour. Although not unheard of it is certainly less common within the psychology field. Especially where there is a comorbidity of conditions.
Individuals with long term stress typically exhibit habituation of the fight, flight, freeze response, resulting in constant low levels of fear and unease. Therefor permanent change is likely to take time, requiring a period of healing.
I like to think that quantum change is possible but sometimes we must work with where we are and take one step at a time. What steps can you take for the better?

What to Focus on During Viewings
A new analysis of buyers’ actions during viewings suggests many effectively ignore the truly important features, and are instead distracted by items which are not even part of the property. Zoopla trialled eye-tracking software during the viewing process, amongst 2000 homebuyers over the last 5 years, to assess where real home-hunters focused their attention during a viewing.
Last month there was much publicity as Zoopla found buyers spend 34 seconds looking at a bedroom, and just 1.2 minutes in the kitchen. Now it’s been revealed that rather than focusing their attention on important things such as the condition of the boiler, water pressure or signs of damage or damp, homebuyers are more likely to spend time admiring items that wouldn’t even be there when they moved in, such as ornaments, furnishings and decorations. Mirrors, plants and pictures proved particularly popular. In the hallway, while the coat rack, rug and ornaments were viewed for over a second on average, structural elements of the property like the ceiling, flooring, radiator and walls were looked at for under a second, or not at all. Two-fifths (38%) don’t check for damp and three fifths (57%) don’t check for condensation according to the consumer research.
A good agent should point out the most important things as they tour the viewer around the house. Whilst the key features will have been ticked off prior to booking a viewing (guide price, property type, number of bedrooms, parking and location) other important considerations are the EPC and Council Tax Banding, NHBC certificate if applicable, warranties and permissions for any recent upgrades, and what is NOT included in the sale. This might influence the amount a buyer may wish to offer. So if you are house hunting, make sure the selling Agent points out the important features when walking around the property.

By Simon Swindells, Director and Clinical Lead Audiologist at South West Hearing Care
Hearing aids in 2024 can now do a lot more than simply just amplify sound. They actually make many things in your life easier. I’ve identified 6 key features that the latest devices can offer, which you may not know about…
Rechargeable (no more batteries): Many of the latest models no longer require you to change batteries. Pop them in their charger and away you go.
Provide relief from tinnitus: Offset annoying ringing in your ears with soothing sounds customised for your comfort.
Stream straight to your ears: Hearing aids can now act as a set of head-phones paired with your smartphone, TV and other Bluetooth compatible devices. You can also receive and answer phone calls without holding the phone to your ear or mouth and hear the call in both ears.
Narrow directionality: This feature attenuates distracting speech and other noises from the back and sides so that the wearer can focus on the conversational partner directly in front.
Automatically adjust to the sounds in your busy life: Automatically improve speech detection and minimise background noise everywhere you go, even in busy places like restaurants.
Control the hearing aid volume and settings using a smart phone: You no longer need to take your hearing aids off or fumble with small controls to make adjustments.
If you’d like to find out more about the latest hearing aid technology, please give us a call or book in for a FREE hearing test and consultation.

Cheesy Onion Soup
As the clocks go back and the nights draw in take comfort in our onion soup, topped with crunchy bread and bubbling cheese.
Preparation time: 15 mins
Cooking time: 1 hour
Serves: 2
Ingredients:
12oz / 350g onions (can use a mixture of brown, red and white or all the same variety)
Butter for frying
1 1/2 tsp Demerara sugar
2 tsp dark soy sauce
1 pint stock (chicken stock is lighter, beef stock heartier)
2 thick slices lightly toasted bread
2oz / 50g cheddar or Gruyere cheeseCrumble
50g plain flour
25g unsalted butter
25g caster sugar
1 tbsp demerara sugar
Pinch of salt
1 tbsp flaked almonds
Method:
Peel and thinly slice the onions.
Heat the butter in a medium-sized saucepan.
Add the onions and sugar and fry gently over a low heat for 10-20 minutes, stirring frequently. The sugar will caramelise to a nice golden brown coating on the onions. Be careful not to let it stick and burn though, especially towards the end.
Add the stock and soy sauce, and season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Put a lid on the pan and simmer for approximately 30 minutes until the onions are soft and starting to disintegrate.
Grate or thinly slice the cheese.
Divide the soup between two heatproof bowls.
Float a slice of toasted bread on top of each bowl of soup, and top with the sliced or grated cheese.
Grill for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling (which is why you have to use heatproof soup bowls!)
Serve with more crusty fresh bread.
“Fantastic responsive service. It’s the 2nd time I have used Central Roofing…Went above and beyond and assisted me in issues around insurance. I would recommend this company to anyone with roofing issues.” Cat Lady
“Fantastic responsive service. It’s the 2nd time I have used central roofing and on both occasions they turned up on time got on with the job and kept us informed on what was being carried out. Went above and beyond and assisted me in issues around insurance. I would recommend this company to anyone with roofing issues.”
Cat Lady
We used Central Roofing to take down an old flat roof and install another on our business premises at Knight Brothers Garage. The company was very reliable, they turned up when they said they would, the guys that did the work were very tidy and efficient. The work was completed in the time frame they set…we are more than pleased with the finished job.
