Plums are windfalls, not that ripe, lots of cucumbers and gherkins and some courgettes. Loads of beans. One crystal lemon cucumber. Apple windfalls. Blackberries (both have gone into stewed fruit concoction with gooseberries from the freezer). There weren't as many blackberries as I thought there'd be and quite a few are spoiling before ripening due to the heavy rain over the past few days. Onions are from the shed at the allot where I have them drying off and just bring a few home at a time to use. Doesn't include the toms for the greenhouse at home.
Been windy today with a thunder storm this evening and even some hail! My plants are looking a bit battered but hopefully will pick up again.
Well, a brief post from me but it's getting late zzzz. Linking through to Harvest Monday on Daphne's Dandelions.
Don't forget to cut those plums in half before eating :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha...urgh what's worse than finding a maggot in your plum? Half a maggot! Ho ho.
DeleteIt looks like a lot of berries to me. But then it is all relative. I'm getting about 4 or 5 raspberries a day and anything that you need more than your hand for looks like a lot to me.
ReplyDeleteThanks Daphne...my summer rasps have all finished and I'm lucky to get two autumn ones per visit, so you're up on me there! Almost one whole boundary of my plot is blackberries though, one year we picked 6 big tubs all in one go....that was definitely a jam year :)
DeleteDitto Daphne on the berries - they look lovely! And very artistic arrangement of beautiful veggies as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Margaret, I was going to make a face but only had one crystal lemon cucumber :) actually the berry tubs are kind of like the eyes! Three more gherkins and another cuke today. Got to get my preserving hat on tomorrow :)
