Now lifting the early maincrop potatoes. These are possibly Charlotte salad potatoes - the labels got lost and so a bit of guesswork is involved. We're a bit worried about how wet the ground is but so far hardly any have rotted. The last couple of days have been sunny and a week of dry weather is forecast so everywhere should have the chance to dry out properly.
Picked the first of our gooseberries - mainly from a bush that was already planted on the allotment when we took over but a few are from a small 'stick' planted in Spring. I've picked almost all the red- and black-currants now and the raspberries and strawberries are slowing down too - still enough for breakfasts though.
There are still plenty of broad beans and peas, and more than enough kale!
One small cauliflower...

and even a couple of tomatoes.
wow, great harvest!!! You'll not starve thats for sure,
ReplyDeleteSounds like you should make tonno e fagioli for suppers al fresco. Just boil the beans until al dente, cool in the fridge, add tinned tuna, salt and olive oil. Heaven!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a warm weather variation on my version of tuna bake! http://maryomshomepage.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/fish-pie-with-added-beans.html
DeleteTonight I'm trying to dry some with soy sauce for 'not-quite-wasabi-beans'.
