abundance!













While the glorious weather has kind of disappeared I am having my first full season allotment harvest. In the last week: garlic and onions - enough to hang for autumn; potatoes; chard; spinach; radishes; beetroot; red currants - enough to make jam; gooseberries; strawberries; raspberries; artichoke - so many!; sugar snap peas; courgettes and my glorious dahlias are in flower. Added to which my wee garden has provided mint - 3 varieties; thyme; lemon thyme; oregano; chives; dill; parsley; tarragon. With all this greenery I made a fresh seasonal pasta.

Now that the ground has had a good soaking can I please have some more sun so my tomatoes, chillies; peppers and beans ripen!!
