However, a late break in the clouds this when the evening sun came out gave me an excuse to go & see how the plot was getting on.It was far to wet to do anything except pick a LETTUCE (hsl stoke), a handful of RADISH (French breakfast), some sprouting spears of KALE (Sutherland), & to pull a few sticks of rhubarb.
Of course I noticed how well the peas are growing (but forgot to look closely at the broad beans flowers to see if I have any beans forming yet), & how the onions are just starting to swell; the garlic starting to yellow just at the tips; & the profusion weeds popping up all over…
And then it started raining again.
That's a gorgeous looking trug of goodies (and a potential nice little quilt pattern on your kitchen floor*!)
ReplyDelete* it's OK, hang around Flummery and I for long enough and you will get used to this sort of thing!
Ah yes, Quilt patterns crop up everywhere!
ReplyDeleteI picked a huge pile of rhubarb yesterday to give to a friend in the village who has an excellent recipe for rhubarb and orange jam. I confidently hope for a jar!
D'you know, I had to go into the kitchen and scrutinise the floor when I read your comment, Bilbo! {smile}
ReplyDeleteRhubarb and orange jam sounds fab! Maybe I should have a go, although jam making not my strong suit...
Jam sounds good, are you going to ask for the recipe?
