The last post was green, so this one is red. After all, it’s nearly December, and Christmas is just around the corner.
Above are unusual cherry tomatoes given to us by one of our neighbours – the fruit grows into little heart shapes. We’re going to see if we can save the seeds from these ones.
These gorgeous red beetroots have added a splash of colour to our green garden beds…
…and grown into both small and ginormous beets!
We haven’t had a hugely successful strawberry crop, but there are a few bright red berries in the pot right now…
Pete finally agreed to let me crop some of the rhubarb – it’s mostly green with a little red, but it will make a lovely dessert or sauce one day soon. There was nearly a kilo and a half (over three pounds) in the stems below…
A few tiny carrot thinnings from our rainbow seeds…these were too small to eat, but we marveled at their colour…
We’re waiting for most of our tomatoes to ripen, but these cherries will be ready for picking in a day or so…
And lastly, the Red Norland potatoes have stormed ahead of the other varieties – whilst the Bintjes and King Edwards are still tiny new potatoes, the Reds are now full sized and very delicious!
