Vegetables from the plot

The paper bags have the different types of potatoes. The beans; broad, runner and Bellotti are in the freezer with the courgettes. We are onto plumbs and apples. The pears are still too hard. The strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries and tomatoes we ate and the currants are also in the freezer. The onions are still at Barbara's and the garlic is hanging in the shed.
We have planted more turnip, cauliflower, kale and beetroot as well as winter lettuce and spinach. The broccoli is beginning to appear and the parsnips are growing well.
That is our first growing year and it has been great!

Well done you two ... I know it's hard work but just look at the reward!

What a great variety you have grown between you and now you are rewarded well done from me to.

You must feel very satisfied when you go out to gather all these lovely things. A lovely selection.

wow! you have done so well, and under such testing conditions too. Brilliant. Barbara's husband would be so pleased with you both! :) x

Thanks, guys. It is very rewarding. We talk about Pete a lot when we are working in the veg garden. Barbara remembers things he used to do and we are following his crop rotation.

You've got a bit of everything there, amazing.

I bet it is a huge part of her grieving process. You are a great friend Linda. Xx

We will make some changes next year, Thorneyside, maybe plant more of some things like carrots.
I think you are right, Karen, it is good for me too tho'......
the exercise.

Well done a fabulous tasty bumper crop ...

You have done very well to get such a good crop! Reminds me of the days when I had an allotment!

There is still a lot more to crop. The runner beans, carrots and parsnips are good at the moment. We also have a bumper crop of cooking apples and delicious plumbs.
