After being on holiday for a week we braved going to both allotments in the rain and apart from the abundance of weeds (as always...) we were pleased to come home with 3 big bags of produce. Picked the last of the broad beans, a good carrier bag full. Also a couple of handfuls of runner beans, some really big ones too. Pulled all the onions as the tops had been eaten off and were in danger of spoiling, a huge bag full which Simon has strung up to dry. 3 cucumbers from the polytunnel - taste brilliant, had some in a sandwich! Handful of tomatoes. 3 Kohl Rabi (still not sure what to do with them....) A vaseful of sunflowers. Masses of rhubarb chard and swiss chard and some spinach. And some more beetroot for picking and a handful of large carrots. Really pleased with all that.
Doesn't that look wonderful?! I love this time of year!
