Not so big as the neeps. But I'm still very happy to have got anything at all. And as I'll be eating these alone, small portion sizes work out just fine.
And theres plenty more. This week has seen, going into the freezer:
a pound of peas
A pound of black currants
A pound of white currants
Just under a pound of red currants (we ate some)
I've a whole fleet of cucumber submarines parked on top of the wood pile and the marrows are doing their best to catch up. Some of the marrows can go in the freezer as ratatouille, but what do you do with excess cucumber. I need some chickens, pigs or goats.
Tomatoes still haven't gone red. Any ideas? I'm removing a few leaves to see if a bit of sun helps.
And the watermelon keeps flowering but no fruit yet. Someone is eating the flowers, I think.
Oh, and remember that strawberry pipe? It's still giving me strawberries, pretty much daily. The plants in the ground have stopped, but these keep on going. And so handy on the fence by the garden gate.
All in all, very satisfying.
