It’s been a great month. We’ve had masses of French Beans and Mange-tout. Just how many more recipes can we find for green beans?
There has also been a good supply of radishes and spring onions, but the tomatoes are slow to ripen. The freezer is bursting at the seams with runner beans.
Yesterday I harvested all the onions and they are laid out to dry. It’s a good job we put them under cover because it rained half the night.
It’s been an absolute joy to see the vegetable plot full of greenery and the crops growing since we had some decent amounts of rain. If the potatoes, carrots and parsnips are developing as well underground as they are above ground we should be having plenty of those as well. The leeks are doing well and with any luck when they are added to all of the other root vegetables we should be able to enjoy one of Denise’s fantastic vegetable soups in the winter, but this time made from our own crops.

The chicken project is on hold until my hernia is sorted. It must have been all that digging!
