Various Veggies – Early Summer
12Tuesday 12 August, 2014 by Uncle Spike
Now that we are into summer proper, most of the veggies have died off, that is, apart from the strong ones like peppers, cherry tomatoes, ochre, aubergines and melon/watermelon. So here is a wee look back on a month or so ago, when we still had a variety of goodies on offer…

Potatoes Always dug when small and baby-fresh 🙂

.
Plum tomatoes
.
.
.
Salad onions Now dried up and dormant until late autum
.
.
Leeks For next year

Cucumbers

One day, yes…. I have never used a recipe in my life (except a couple at schol decades ago), so it will have to wait for time to scribble them down, probably with photos so it makes some kind of sense.
There are no eggs under my plants 🙂
Too many names for that one….

It’s great that our ‘tender’ vegetables are your tougher ones. I’ve got one Aubergine just making it in the dining room. It’s the size of a …. Very small Aubergine!
