Purplerallim , known Anwick g/c , might try and have a drive out but a bit busy at moment Afternoon at allotment lots harvested a Unfortunately most of the beetroot had been particularly eaten see picture, never happened before , wondered if mice 🐁?

Will go to plot tomorrow and finish the raspberry bed Picked some sweet corn 🌽 for tomorrow’s dinner O/H been pickling Shallots today , some with chilli 🌶 and Rosemary
Had daughter over and sent her home with todays pickings. 50 cherry toms and two cucumbers ( kept two more for myself) She also took a jar of raspberry jam and one of plum jam, plus a dozen eggs . Fresher food here than London and she congratulated me on reducing my carbon footprint growing so much.😁
Just finished in the garden checking if everything was ok after the torrential rain last night. Recovered the cabbage/broccoli with netting as it needed more height . Picked 3lb 10oz of Roma toms and a handful of raspberries. Made some more raspberry jam. The tomatoes and veg soup can wait till tomorrow.
