Summer was short and not so warm this year. Must live abroad (France) in warmer climes when I'm older.
Recent jobs:
- picking runner beans, late sowing of peas are great, turnips, carrots, potatoes
- made some spiced runner bean relish
- blanched and frozen about 18 bags of runner beans and peas! A satisfying way to pass a couple hours, storing homegrown food for the coming winter months.
- picked the first of the pumpkins and made a lovely pumpkin lasagne
- salvaged one calabrese cabbage and have hopefully saved the two Brussels sprouts but am not holding my breath - the caterpillars have had their fill while I was on holiday
Some pics below taken last weekend: kale, peas, my neighbour with his onions for the Lymm produce show last weekend (must enter next year), pumpkin, sunflowers and more pumpkins!
