With my roast Lamb (not from the lottie but from the farm shop)  We had roasted roosters, cabbage, roasted carrot, parsnip, garlic and red onions.... and today I have just had a mixed bean salad with my barlotti beans and runner beans. ;D

Just cooking apple and pear pickle, better go and check the saucepan.  Recipe from Morrisons free magazine, smells OK.

Yesterday we picked the first of the red cabbages, which for the first time ever have done really well for us.

So braised red cabbage with onions and apple was our home-grown part of Sunday lunch, with roast pork and new potatoes.  Simple and delicious.

A mixed salad of baby lettuces, rocket, parsley and coriander. Tonight the green beans, peppers, courgette will get into a stir fry :)

Oh and raspberries. but if they are not eaten tonight they will be sauce by 9 o'clock.

On the weekend I ate the first curly scarlet kale. I boiled it in salt water then just seasoned it and added a spoonful of reduced fat cream. It was absolutely delicious. I can see I will be eating a lot of that over winter!!
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com

We had a great meal today courgette, calebrese, mayan gold sauted, parsnip, sweet corn, carrots.  Got some cheapo cooking bacon from sainsburies choose some big lumpy bits and pressure cooked it. 

Forget to mention the purple sprouting it seems to have got the seasons all wrong.  Not summer that has produced nothing.

Certainly is a warm one for end of September!

Carrots... that's what we'll be eating from the plot in an hour or so as my daughter has made a carrot cake for her mother's birthday. Cheap and tasty Delicious and delectable sounds better  ;)
