Harvest and Preserving

Harvest is slow but steady this year, keeping us ticking over with veg at home.  The green beans (Blue Lake) are doing well again this year.  The onions are all picked and hanging, had a bit of rot but mostly they were excellent.  Used some of the red onions to make red onion chutney again this year as it was so nice last time.



 





 

 



 

Not doing any jam at the moment as still have so much left over from last year.  Might be tempted to make some blackberry jelly next weekend though as so many of them down at the plot.  What else is being harvested?

    Lots of green beans, turnips, kohl rabi, potatoes (Nicolas), courgettes, cabbages.  Just picking what we need at the moment and     using them while they are fresh.  Had a lovely stir fry with lots of our produce the other day, tasted great!

Simon has a blackberry wine on the go and lots of yellow plums to do some more this week, also got some ginger wine 'brewing' too, not technically from the allotment but still.....
