well we've just spent the afternoon cooking after picking bags of stuff from the allotment, just as you think things are getting easier everything is in and growing, but now it's all the picking cooking and preserving, I'm not moaning though it's great we are already making meals for winter and putting them in the freezer, after picking 4 cauliflowers and some broccoli we made Jamie Oliver's cauliflower riggotoni , 4 trays of, and 2 trays of cauliflower cheese, tommorow it's onto the cougettes, am going to try courgette chutney, also try drying some in our new dehydrator they can then be used in soups or something in the winter, also going to make strawberry and bannana fruit leathers so hope that works ok, things are really taking off at the lotti now, we even had 3 ripe tomatoes yesterday, will be happy when we don't need to buy any more for a few months. I noticed on our potatoes green berries growing up near the leaves I've never seen this before does anyone else know if this is normal? It's soo hot this weekend and we have had no rain for what seems like months now so watering takes up a lot of time at the moment. they are forecasting rain for monday so I hope they are right for once.
