Finally I managed to get out in the vegetable garden today, after dodging the heavy rain and thunderstorms to do some much needed harvesting. My Petit Pois pees are literally bursting off the bush and some have turned into pea pods as it’s taken me so long to harvest them!

I feel like I’ve been waiting for my carrots to grow for ages. Today I couldn’t wait any longer so I pulled a few up to check on their size. Some were ok as baby carrots and others were very tiny. So I will have to leave them for a few more weeks now. However, the Purple carrots are amazing.

As a vegetable gardener I do tend to get impatient waiting for things to be harvested.Some days like today when I’m harvesting other goodies, I often think I’ll just see if there’s any nice spuds I can harvest for tea. I do love rummaging around in the soil to reveal the potatoes which will soon be sitting on the dinner plate with a knob of butter and a few mint leaves. I also lifted a few Beetroot, both white and traditional, they went down a treat roasted with a nice pork chop.

Some of the Red and white beetroot

I simply love cauliflower (and a little cheese)
