Allotments 4 All

Considering I have been up since 6am, peeved to say nothing as yet, I'm stuck at home waiting for OH to bring the car back and glaring moodily at the pouring rain which suggests I'm never going to get out there today!!!! >:( >:(

Lamb steaks on the barbie with my roast spuds, parsnips, hamburg parsley, carrots, kale, french and runner beans.   :P

Potato Salad made with own spuds and garlic chives. Also had own cucumber in a sandwich :)

Minced beef stretched with many many veg including chopped yellow courgettes that are normally refused here, plus green tomatoes before the blight spreads any further (definitely my last year of attempting tomatoes), chopped parsnip (was growing in the wrong place), chopped sorrel, onions etc. It's amazing what you can put in with mince, and it still tastes meaty and delicious.

Own potatoes mashed with parsely and horseradish, own green and purple beans. Own raspberries and figs and bought cream.

Well my son is having his sweetcorn for his lunch and I am making pumpkin soup for lunch and the freezer - I take a portion into work on cold days!  Yesterday I made 3lbs of raspberry and apple jam!  I am knee-deep in jam and pickle this year!

I am knee-deep in jam and pickle this year! You've got yourself into right pickle then.. ;D
And so have I..breakkie was apple sauce with yogurt..I've just had potato and leek soup and more yogurt and apple sauce.. ::) Now I'm going to make some more pickled pears and apple sauce..for dinner we've got tomato sauce from my tomatoes and pasta..and I might squeeze more apple sauce and yogort into me before bed.. ;D ;D..ahhh..YUM...

Same for me today... no car to wait for (I have the bike) but every time I walk to the garage to get it out it pelts down. Stopped again now as I'm in front of the 'puter!  :(

Fortunately the spare larder fridge is full of lottie produce so we wont starve.  ;)

Just had a lovely blended soup made from leeks, turnips, various summer squash with  pink fir apple spuds added (leftovers from last nights dinner).

will be having last of salad leaves with more fir apple spuds for tea. 

Well I've been grazing all day at the Open Day... offering samples to people and we are now going to sit down to Pork.... with Potatoes, beans, spinach and carrots from the lottie... as well as making tomato and Basil soup...  :)

We had cabbage, swede, carrot's,mashed pots,onion gravy ,and a lovely steak! win fall of apples made into crumble with custard, we were stuffed.

My carrots, onions and spuds with beef in the slow cooker.  :P ;D

Red cabbage, red onions, runner & french beans as well as potatoes and carrots.

With the red cabbage and the onion I had a little play cook in session almost following a recipe that I found on A4A. It tuned out pretty well and made use of the red cabbage I was asked to grow but has been sitting in the larder fridge for too long.

Steamed carrots, onions and french beans with jacket spuds, salmon and mushrooms.   :P :D

Please can I have a cutting from your salmon tree. ;D
