It's been a while since I've posted, due to some health problems! Have been a bit tied up over the summer but did manage to get some veg sown in the spring. It's been mostly left to it's own devices since then though!
I did go out once or twice to declare war on the slug and snail population to try and salvage something!
I ventured out earlier today to pick some beetroot to roast for dinner and decided to carry on harvesting.
Some tomatoes in the polytunnel had ripened up nicely. There are a few different varieties and some of the skins are a bit blemished but hey-ho, they still taste pretty good!
Picked a few pears from one of the pear trees. The variety here is 'Williams'. The Conference pears have still a bit more growing to do.
I dug up a large bowlful of 'Pink Fir Apple' Potatoes and washed some ready for dinner. mmmm....I just love the nutty, sweet taste of these potatoes.
Dug a row of carrots and washed them ready to eat. The one on top couldn't make up it's mind which direction to grow so opted to grow both ways! And not a lot to be said about the poor wee boy below!!
The variety is 'FlyAway' and I'm really pleased with the results as I didn't have the usual attack of carrot fly on these.
Onions below were harvested last week. I've just left them out in a tray to hopefully form nice brown skins.
So all in all - a good day's harvest - even though I do say so myself!
