Borlotti Beans suddenly looking good, I love the colourful pods and the finished product is sensational when used in stews!

Lettuce Tree Anyone?
We’ve done very well out of lettuce this year, a bumper crop you might say. Was kinda funny watching them grow into lettuce trees, the compost beckons!
From this lettuce, grows mighty oaks!
Hungry Catterpillar
This is what happens to your cabbages if you don’t take proper care to cover them!
Note to self, I will pay attention and put more effort in next year to give the cabbage the love and care it deserves!
Not sure what type of caterpillar, but there’s a lot of em
And it looked so good yesterday
Garlic bounty
Have been pulling three different types of Garlic out of the ground now for several weeks. There was a French variety and I think Elephant, which sounded fun. We use a lot of Garlic in our cooking which is a good job as we seem to have grown an enormous amount this year. Seem to remember a wonderful roasted garlic risotto recipe that works well. Will also make a tun of garlic butter rounds for the freezer and some bottles of garlic olive oil for the pantry.
Fresh Garlic ‘drying out’
Garlic & Cabbage a match made in heaven
