Our latest pickings include Broccoli and Cucumbers…

We are struggling to get our broccoli to have large heads though. There must be some trick to it! But it tastes great all the same
We got a little eager and harvested our garlics too early because we had a couple showing signs of mould. Luckily only a few were affected so the survivors were hung up in the shed to dry out for a couple of weeks. Once they were all dry I plaited them together and here is the final product. Hopefully these will store well for the next few months.

Its the time of year when all the hard work starts to pay off. Below is our latest harvest.

Carrots and Turnips

Different varieties of Marrows and Courgettes

Charlotte New Potatoes
Using only the freshest picked ingredients of course, I put together a small salad using seasonal produce.

I came across this funny looking orange and brown bug attached to one of my leek leaves.

After a lot of googling, I finally found out that it’s a ladybird in its final stages of development. You find out more about the lifecycle of a ladybird here
