This is the best time by far. As we reap the rewards of lots of hard work from the previous months labour. Picking the produce large and small. Cooking with our own grown ingredients really does make everything taste so much better. Sugar snap peas picked and popped into the mouth instantly, you can't beat that. We are still eating our way through beetroot, courgettes (yellow, green and round ones), carrots, peas and at times head to the freezer for those pre-picked broad beans. Potatoes and onions are also on the table.
With the lack of rain, on a good note not much weeding but lots of water carrying. Its a good time to relax and enjoy the abundance.
Future planting we have well on the way for autumn eating are parsnips, Russian kale, Brussels sprouts and cabbages. Well that all depends on the emergence of lava and other brassica eating animals.
