Random Harvests

The last three courgettes from what has been an exceptional crop.  We planted four seedlings at a rather earlier stage than would have been ideal, but they all thrived.  At times I was taking bagfuls to my knitting group to give away.  This last week we finally called it a day, and made the last of the soup.

A handful of runner beans, enough for our supper.  Again, a record season, starting in July and still there are flowers on the plants.

Beetroot chutney made with our own onions, beetroot and windfall apples.  Yesterday, I made up the green tomatoes into chutney, which is already labelled and shelved.

One of the huge windfall apples from the abandoned plot next door.  It seems a shame to let them waste.

And yesterday we lifted our main crop potatoes, always a strenuous but satisfying job. Not a huge crop, although the individual tubers were of a good size.  

A really productive year.
