And that's shallot.....

Who says the old ones aren't the best?!

Not true however, as we still have a long way to go and so much more to plant, harvest and enjoy.

We had a very quick visit this evening.  Last weekend wasn't particularly conducive to spending time outdoors, especially since I was also full of cold and Phil was helping his brother to move house.  So we went this evening just to check that everything was still OK....and decided to harvest the shallots.  We also managed to find a few decent sized turnips and I thinned out a few of the swede as well so next week's stew will be very tasty!

Today's harvest - shallots and a few other bits.

We do aim to return at the weekend as everything is now growing very fast, including the weeds which are now positively rampant!  The grass paths need taming and the pea shoots we grew are now so big we need to put in supports so they can grow as full pea plants!  Let's hope the rain holds off for a day on Sunday so we can get it all done....
