First sprouts of the season!
First parsnips (we've had a couple of hardish frosts this week)
Dwarf green kale
More chard, although it's starting to look a bit battered
Romanesco! Never successfully got one to harvest size before, no prize winners but a 'side' as the packet would say
Gonna cook up some of the last potatoes as well

Another bowl of tomatoes now processed into soup. Some chard now washed and frozen for the Young Muck Lovers’ smoothies.
Two boxes of raspberries now processed into compote.
At this time of year the quality of tomatoes and raspberries has definitely reduced but somehow they seem really precious to me as I know the growing year is drawing to a close.

over the weekend Parsnips and Swiss chard.
Took the remaining tomatoes out of the freezer[1] and the ripening tray and shoved them in the slow cooker with some bayleaves and some garlic. poured off the water after about 2 hrs then left them to it for another 4hrs(?) and then whizzed it up in a blender.
[1] over the year we freeze the splitters, the ones that go soft before eating, and the beefsteaks and then make sauce when we get enough in one go.

Yesterday I harvested all my parsnip,one of the two were edible sized,that’s a one penny in the photo so it’s smallish but it’s the biggest parsnip I’ve ever grown,an achievement & I roasted it alongside what my daughter had cooking & just ate parsnip on its own like I was a rabbit grazing but I couldn’t wait to find other food to go with it,emergency eating,people do that with corn on the cob too

My very last crop of tomatoes for the year. I have to say they were a sorry looking lot. But they are now processed into soup with the help of a packet of bought passata. I have loads more chopped and frozen but I had a pang of sadness that there won’t be any more of these home grown goodies fresh until next year.
