Today was the last day of school for six whole weeks and I celebrated by making a quick visit to the allotment. While there, I did a bit of urgent watering and picked a pound of french beans, some runner beans, radishes and our first helping of raspberries.
To bring you all up to date - so far I have made 6 pots of strawberry jam, and one large jar of pickled shallots and frozen 4 pounds of broad beans, two kohlrabis and 2 packs of french beans. I also have three strings of onions and a large net of shallots. All this is in addition to the food that we eat directly. In effect, this is our surplus for the lean winter months!
