Slim Pickings

Everything is coming along nicely down at the patch, with only some windblown Potato haulms and 'pigeon pecked' Kale plants as a blot on our landscape. All information that I have checked seems to indicate that the Potatoes will not be a problem and the Kale plants were just leftovers we stuck in the area sown with Red Clover.

We have lifted some of the Orla and Cara spuds out of curiosity. Boiled with butter, they were very tasty... although not as good as the Charlottes we have lifted from our garden.

We have also had some of the last large Beetroot thinnings and these were really good. Heather wants to lift the complete half-row for pickling, but I feel we should wait another week. So we will !
