Today I Mostly Harvested....!

[shirlthegirl43]

Another handful of alpine strawbs, 3 greenhouse strawbs, 2 outdoor strawbs and one purple podded mange tout

[colser]

finally got some radish that hasn't gone to seed, keeping them for lunch tomorrow, lots of new tatties (very small but melt in the mouth)

[Raskusdrotti]

Baby courgettes and spring onions - cooked up with bacon and sliced new potatoes in a spanish omelette...

Had a chorizo potato bake last night: Steam baby potatoes for a few mins if wanted to make sure they'll be cooked (em - bought these as couldn't get to plot). Chop a chorizo sausage (the U-shaped one from Lidl, Sol brand, is about right amount) into chunks and the same with a red pepper. I added a large handful of our own mangetout (which was rather tasty!!). Mix in the spuds and add a jar of tomato and chilli sauce (Sacla one with cherry toms is delicious, but Lloyd Gorssman one is reasonably good too - just ones I've tried this on).

Put into the oven at 180 degrees for about 40-60 mins. Wilt some spinach (didn't have any last night but it normally is lovely) over the top and stir through a dollop of creme fraiche.

Recommendation - have some bread on the side for mopping up juices.


Today's lunch is another box of salad leaves, with mangetout, peas and a carrot thinning from the garden (and 2 carrtos, 5 baby plum toms and 8 olives from the shops).

Today a few carrots and beetroot, plus the first of the turnips.. Keeping up with the salad leaves (just!) including lovely 'Bronze Arrow' from HSL.

Last night picked Mint to make tzatziki, and rocket to go in the salad...

'Rocket rocket every where and nothing else to eat!'

(but beetroot looks like it'll be ready soon...)

Picked my first broad bean pod last night, then got home and realised it was too small. Patience Glasshopper, patience...

[Flummery]

Yesterday I lifted a couple of portions of Lady Christle (I spell this differently every time!) new potatoes from one of my 3 to a shrub-tub plantings - really gorgeous old fashioned new spud flavour. Peas are swelling up nicely - I keep going out to give 'em a little squeeze! Noticed a courgette set on the allotment - won't be long!

[moggssue]

Yeyyy - I can finally join in!! Iceberg lettuce, lollo rosso lettuce and spinach last night to go with my mexican chicken wrap, and a couple of herbs to go inside the wrap. Broad beans and new potatoes almost there and the first of the baby courgettes starting to swell, oh and one tiny plum tommy too!
