We've been busy again picking allotment produce before threatened snow for next month (!), though I've read today that there will be a heat-wave over the next couple of weeks so presumably the weather men have changed their minds!
anyway, have picked LOTS of tomatoes - green and red

the runner beans have been damaged a bit by wind but we're still getting enough for dinners from them, just not such an enormous surplus to freezepicked the first of the cobra beans - a shiny black bean to dry - along with more borlottis and tendergreen french
our first red cabbage - not very large but I decided it was time for pickled cabbage
pulled some Italian radishes - wasn't very sure how long to let them grow. Some are very strong in taste and give quite a kick to salads
this is the total of my red onions from the garden, but I'm really pleased with them - possibly my best crop of them ever!

ReplyDeleteI've heard people talking about snow up in Scotland already. I wouldn't be surprised by frost any time now but don't expect any snow in normal circumstances till November 17th - my mother's birthday, for which there's generally snow. It doesn't usually last but last year was weird and very cold and I'm hoping it won't be again.
