I love harvest time!
At the Hill tonight, the only limit to the bounty was what I could carry home on the bike!
So after scrutinising the brassicas for caterpillars (Hazel 12, caterpillars 0), I picked some RUNNER BEANS (reg-next-plot), a handful of BARLOTTI BEANS & half a carrier bag of FRENCH BEANS (barlotto lingua).
Back home I promptly gave a big handful of these to my neighbours – I’m somewhat overrun with these, thus benefitting my mum, accountant, neighbours & the hairdresser. I haven’t frozen any of these yet – I suspect I will have plenty of time for that given the amount of beans still to come…
Also coming home in the bicycle basket was SQUASH (red kuri), CARROTS (gonsonheimer) & tonight’s star prize – a couple of ripe TOMATO (bloody butcher). Yum yum!
So I have had a very smug tea tonight – half a stuffed squash, shelled barlotti beans, carrots & cabbage from Reg-next-plot.
No photos, though, as I scoffed the whole damn lot before I remembered the camera…
The stomach is more powerful than the camera!
ReplyDeleteWhat are bloody Butcher like for flavour, by the way?
As my first proper red tommies wot I grew myself, they are obviously the best tasting tomatoes in the whole wide world, and a million times more tasty than anything I've ever bought in a shop.
ReplyDeleteWill do a more objective 'compare and contrast' when the others ripen!
