A massive bunch of Sweetpeas, Jo said it was like she was a bride again walking home with this massive bouquet.Broad Beans & Courgettes again! Another trug full of Peas, it took us an hour to pod, blanche & bag these ready to freeze. Tonight we had the cheapest meal so far:
Cauliflower Cheese, with Mangetout, Broad Beans & New Potatoes.
All our own veg :)
I dug over this patch removed as many weeds including self seeded poppies as I could, added lime and planted 12 Romanesco Cauliflowers.Dug over this patch too, as above. Planted 6 Brussel Sprouts.Both netted to protect from birds, especially Pheasants we get on our plot, who are partial to young plants!
Today's harvest:Rhubarb, Cauliflower, Potatoes, Courgette, Mint, Raspberries, Loganberries, Strawberries & Sweetpeas.
And finally the Bees, we have so many Poppies on our plot and they are full of nectar collecting Bees, this one (not a good photo sorry) had pollen sacks on its legs so full !
Thanks for reading/returning. Ian & Jo
