For the first time ever we are going to try out hand at growing crops over the winter. To this end, we’ve planted cauliflower and cabbage seeds.
As summer draws to a close, we have emptied out the vegetable plot, leaving only the parsnips in place, and the option of planting some new crops.
With summer coming to an end, we have pulled our onions out of the plot. Although some are small, they are well matured, with satisfying brown papery skins.
Tonight we harvested the first of our broad beans. Ten pods in total, with three or four little beanlets inside each one. We cooked them up into a risotto with some peas and broccoli. Delicious.
