Todays Harvest

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.
