Snap for "apples" if not the tea loaf.  ;)

Three boxes full of eating apples. Quite unexpected.
Now...what to do with them?

Aden, that is the one, though I am not sure it is peppery, it just seems to keep coming, I planted mine back in june/july when we first go our plot and I just cut some today..... awesome, love it in mixed salads, these oriental veg are really good!

GrannieAnnie I would reccommend it, in the summer when my spinach and rocket were busy bolting this was good, and so far this autumn it has been fine, tho we have only had one mild frost so far!  Where abouts are you?

This is the one year when I wish I had planted some late potatoes as they may well have been worthwhile to grow in the open. It has been so mild.  :)

My spuds with roast Chicken.    ;D

A mountain of spinach beet with butter, lemon, grated nutmeg and crème fraîche - extended family gobbled it all up with their pork (bought) casserole enriched with chestnuts (collected) and shallots and leeks and chillis (tasteless for some reason, but nice bright red colour).

Meringue and whipped cream (both bought) mixed up with masses of thawed raspberries. Even the baby had her mouth permanently open waiting for yet another spoonful.

Last night great trayfuls of potato wedges and a huge vat of pumpkin and parsnip soup for our bonfire party.

some of our tomatoes grilled with bacon and egg  ;D

Potatoes as usual as well as carrots, kale and onion.

(Nice to know where your food comes from)

Well yesterday I picked a ripe strawberry....and there are more almost ripe. I picked some more ripe tomatoes.....not many green left and the tomatoes have started flowering again the aubergine also still flowering but only one fruit is growing. Climbing French beans still flowering and fruiting but not getting very big, the dwarf beans have been frosted.

Tea last night was Paprika Chicken... but the soup starter (tomato) and accompanying veg. - Jackets, (Picasso), chard and carrots were straight off the Lottie.....  :)

Brought some shallots and our 1st brussels home.

Steamed the Onions as they are really sweet that way.

Steamed the small brussels for 5 mins then drain them off,meantime soften some butter and fry off some smoked lardons for a few mins,then add brussels whizz em round the pan to take on the buttery bacon flavour...they are bluddy scrummy !!!!!!!!!!   ;)

Picked some more Peppers and chillies from the GH.

Calebrese this might be the last.  Though after six months of it we need a break.  Sprouts been eating them for s few weeks.  Carrots, parsnip, potaotes, parsley, cabbage, psb.  I have chard as well but we do not like it so someone esle is using it.  I had the last raspberry on Wednesday. 

Did buy some green beasn and celery. 

We had Jerusalem Artichoke and Leek Gratin for a change as my son was visiting.  He really enjoyed the meal but the after effects have made him decide not to grow them himself.

Curly kale, swede and butternut squash mm......... :)

Roasties (Picasso), Parsnips, mixed root mash (swede/celeriac/carrot) and red cabbage with apple.... celery soup for starter...  :)

We had small shallots in our stifado and some small spuds with it.   ;D

Today I'm doing my jacket spuds with pork loins, mushrooms and rice.    :P

Rabbit stew with carrots, onions, celery, garlic and parsnips.  Sadly the rabbit was from the butcher tho..
