Ninety tomatoes picked today, with more Raspberries and seven cucumbers The outside cucumber and tomato plants are starting to look tired , I think the lower night temperatures are starting to get to them.
I dare not go to the greenhouse, there might be more tomatoes ready 🫣 , so instead I have made tomato sauce from nine pounds of tomatoes, and used the last of last years sauce to make spaghetti bolognese sauce. 🥵
Pickled some shallots this morning...tears streaming down my face! Picked some more cucumbers and tomatoes. Peabeans and yellow dwarf french beans harvested and put in the freezer. Had a fig (yes just one) but many small ones which probably wont develop now. Red grapes from the greenhouse being eaten, once deseeded, and some into the freezer.....running out of room again. Took some apples to a neighbour who eats 2 a day.
I had a check of the freezer today, not sure what I picked today will go in. 11×3lb bags of tomatoes ( frozen whole) 3 bags of Raspberries, apples, soup, and that's without the overflow from the house freezer! I was right about the tomatoes.🤦♀️
