IN & OUT August-September 2021

 



More crops! Mooli, raspberries, corn, nasturtiums, potatoes, turnip, munchkins, and one bean.



Of course, harvesting the crops is only stage one...Stage two is preparing them - some for eating directly, others for storing. The sweet corn for example was separated into kernels for freezing and baby corn for eating.



I am of course also preparing crops now for later - such as this eggplant, no growing on the coffee lounge windowsill as I appear to have a mouse that likes to eat it in the poly tunnel.



I have picked out a few corn kernels to dry so that I can use them next year - if this works, I may not need to buy corn seed again.



the crops kept coming.....

And here comes the cooking, my part in the play....
