Allotments 4 All

My very first crop from the allotment.  I only started last winter and my small but perfectly formed onions tasted so delicious!  I can't believe I am so exited.   :D

manicscousers: I've got a mixed leaf selection, tho' not nearly as ready as yours. Do you like the pepperyness of Red Mustard as I find it way too hot for me and have it cooked instead.. :D

Ray likes it on beef butties, I prefer it cooked up in a stir fry  ;D

Two snared Rabbits. No cleared soil on new plot as yet.

the first New Potatoes of the year, with loads of asparagus  ;) :D

Swear words and lots of them

Russian Kale, loads of strawberries, rhubarb,  sprouting turnip, a couple of small potatoes from a plant I pulled up as a weed and lots of parsley.  

How do you snare a rabbit

How do you use it cooked.  I grow it every year, though goodness knows why - as soon as it is really big enough to be of any use it is too hot for me.  But if I could use it cooked  ???

all the best

eat the smaller inside leaves for salad and cook the bigger leaves in a stir fry  :)

darkbrowneggs: I've had it in a noodle soup before and they tasted quite sweet like spinach (quick dip so as to retain flavour and colour). Maybe in a week or so, I'll try it in a creamy pasta dish. I'm sure it'll taste just as good.  Did you know that it's a cut n' come again plant (just strip outer leaves, leaving the smaller leaves to grow on)?

Nowt - had a Mc Chicken burger in Newcastle (dragged there by daughter)

Had I been at home however I could have chewed on a chive or had a stick of rhubarb 

because thats the sum total of edible produce I've got!!!

Tempted to move south :o . . . but only for the growing conditions ;D

yesterday- cauliflower in soup for lunch, rhubarb and damson jam in smoothie.

Cauliflower cheese for tea.

Rosehip wine!

My onions in mince and sweet potato curry.   :D

Freshly dug Duke of York spuds, broad beans and pea's. They were bootiful!!!!

WONDERFUL new potatoes, and a salad of red and green lettuce, a little red mustard leaf, rocket, spring onions, chickweed tops, fat hen tops, parsley flowers, chive flowers, sweet rocket flowers, and mange tout peas.

And an egg mayonnaise made with home grown eggs from home reared hens.

Yumm

Strawberries and peas!!! Very happy and both were delicious.

Lettuce, Icicle Radish and Cress. The cress was sown as a "marker" for Beetroot, White turnip, Carrots and Icicle Radish (second sowing).

The last of last year's sweet corn. The first of this year's crop is about ready to plant out.

Our last potato from last year :( :( :(
