Here
we can see that I entered the village flower and produce show for the
second year in a row. On the first occasion, I entered rhubarb and
longest rhubarb, as I also did this year, but last year I didn't get a
placing whereas this year both rhubarb classes gave me a third place
certificate! I also came second with my blackcurrants which I showed
for the first time. I have also shared the comments I received.
Finally, here are the items shown - being prepared to eat.
Here
are the crops I brought home from the allotment one day in the middle
of July. These include the first cropping of chickpeas from my first
time growing them. I was not certain when to pick them - or if one
dried them on the plant or on the sill...so just grabbed a bunch of
stalks with the pods on to investigate. This is what the pods and
seeds look like...
...one
is supposed to eat the 'crunchy green' chickpeas in salads raw, and
dry the brown ones for storage...
Finally
for today - the latest selection of crops to come inside from the
plot and poly tunnel.
