Harvest time

What a bounty we are now getting from our allotment and garden, and it's on June! We are now getting quite a good supply of peas and strawbs and our broad beans are ready for harvesting.

Last week we managed to have our first meal almost solely from our own produce: Salad from the garden, with our own peas and eggs from the girls. The only thing that we added that wasn't was the tomatoes, which were Kentish nevertheless. So satisfying to have our first meal towards our 52 meals challenge (trying to grow enough to have one meal a week from our own produce).



This morning we are having our second meal - strawberries with yoghurt for breakfast - delicious!



Here's a summary of our recent harvest:





I hope soon to be able to show you a pea and bean risotto - my favourite meal of the season!
