Oh lordy....where do you start!!
We have had a bumper year for everything. I have not had to buy fruit or veetables for four months....
Peaches, apricots, figs, asparagus, fennel, tayberries, logan berries, blueberries,
Huge crops of fruit- blackcurrents, whitecurrents, redcurrents, rasps, strawbs ah the strawbs were heavenly!
cabbages, onions, courgettes by the hundreds, enough tomatoes that i am using them for chutneys etc.
The sweet corn is coming out the roof of the polytunnel, I couldnt eat another lettuce!!! we are on beans and peas at the moment.
The apple trees are creaking amd the ground is covered in windfalls. The plum tree had never been so laden!
To be honest with you, and running the risk of being rude, we are eating so much veg just trying to keep up with the growth that my bowels are a bit 'thundery'
....... and then there is the lamb- just been butchered on Friday, and I have spent the weekend making sausages. I think i am most proud of the animals actually.
