.......and what about the vegetables?

Ah ,the fruit of good honest sweat and toil tastes so much sweeter!

We are at last starting to harvest our crops in earnest now. The potatoes (despite having blight) are very tasty - we've forgotten the varieties but we have red and white ones (not red & white ones, but red ones and white ones), our peas and beans are delicious (if a little thin on the ground - we know to pack more plants in next year), we've eaten stuffed courgette (well they were the size of marrows), have about four varieties of tomatoes (which actually taste like tomatoes rather than the tasteless supermarket ones we'd got used to), raspberries are being picked on a daily basis are fat and juicy. We've learnt a lot about growing this season thanks to Lucia, Mum and Dad T, Derek, Joe Swift and everyone down at the Allotment (especially Bob on the allotment hotline). It's hardly been a bumper harvest, but it has given us encouragement to carry on next year.
