Well, what can I say? It's all growing! Picked our first two cucumbers of the year today and have our first tomato doing tomatoey type things. Picked zillions of kale for 2 different recipes this week and brought home the first of the onions. Sweet peas are being a constant joy to the nasal passages and the broad beans are about to produce more beans than we know what to do with. Simon is cooking with peppers a lot, and drying a lot in his dehydrator, and hanging more to dry. Picked the first of the blackcurrants, jostaberries and gooseberries to go in the freezer for jam making later in the year. Lots of weeding, lots of watering, lots of getting a little bit sunburnt but worth it. Dinner tonight is Simons risotto with everything except the rice coming from the allotment. Heavenly!A montage of photos from today..... a taste of plots 119 and 120!

ReplyDeleteThank you, its certainly nice to be cooking with things we have grown, have had kale two nights in a row! Got loads of turnips in the ground ready to be pulled but lacking in recipes to use them in! Done 2 casseroles but bit hot to be doing that at the moment! Picked our first two cucumbers too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful allotment, all looking so gorgeous.
