Mmm sweet and juicy, I will have them with cucumber ( grown in the PT) and lettuce ( grown in the PT) for lunch and try to pretend it ISN'T chucking it down with rain outside

The rather feeble crop of garlic from by the carrot bed, hanging up to dry in the PT over a tray of shallots from the same bed. I grow garlic and shallots to keep away the carrot fly and it works BUT this year the actual garlic and shallots are a bit dud....
Hopefully the other garlic and shallots in other beds will be better! BUT the onion bed is doing really well so fingers crossed that THIS YEAR we get a good harvest again. Last year we had hardly any usable onions......
But if this rain keeps up I am worried about blight on the potatoes outside....well I am worried about that ANYWAY......
Those tomatoes look lovely, im still waiting for some of mine to ripen! Mind you, if this rain keeps up they probably never will !
ReplyDeleteI have never had them ripen so early as this year....and they tasted divine...
