Helloooooooooo!
I haven't posted for a while, but I promise we have been doing some stuff at the plot.
Most things are over, but some tomatoes are still going (in the lean house), chilies are ripening, and various kinds of salad are going (also in the lean house). The Christmas Potatoes are also coming on well, and I'm quite excited about them.
So, what have we had?
The last courgette before the frost was more of a marrow, I took it to my Mum's and we stuffed it with couscous and topped it with goats cheese, which was lovely:
We took up the rest of the potatoes shortly after the frost too, they are fantastic, a beautiful colour and flavour:
I made a thai potato curry with some tonight:
I'm also ripening some of my 'heritage' tomatoes at home at the moment, I have them on the windowsill in plastic tubs to try and make the most of the light. I've left some ripe ones in with them in the hope the ethylene they give off will encourage ripening:
The main kind are Lemon Tree ones which are such an amazing shape, really like lemons!
We are now looking forward to getting a few jobs in the winter. The Lean House needs ends, and we need to sort out a few beds. I'm looking forward to having the stove on and drinking coffee in a crispy frosty allotment.
