harvest home
At last a proper harvest, it must be summer! Onions(2 varieties), Pak choi, Strawberries, Broad Beans, Peas, Sweetpeas, Potatoes, Radishes and a lonely garlic. Now we just have to eat it all.
Doesn't it make it all worth while ? I steamed some freshly picked spinach and broad beans this evening, with yesterdays dug new potaoes and had it with salmon, fit for a king ! That's a great harvest you have there.
I've always had a passion for plants especially edible ones. We have a young family so it seemed the ideal time to get an allotment in rural Leicestershire and get them involved. We have a small half plot and aim to make it productive and fun. If I can do it you can too - get digging!
Eating it will be great!!! Yummy. Fab harvest, enjoy it all xx

Great harvest. Doesn't home grown taste far superior to supermarket bought?
