Jack came yesterday and the garden is now transformed!
He removed the tomato plants and tromboncino and tidied my veg plot. He took home the green tomatoes and I had the red ones. It's been my best ever year for tomatoes and I didn't want to ripen the last few. I've got a few beetroot and carrots still to harvest.
The ripe tomatoes will become yet another batch of tomato puree which I use for soup.
He disposed of the runner beans and sweet peas and tidied the flower border. Runner beans haven't done very well this year and we've decided to grown French beans as an experiment. He's planted some wallflowers too.
He had his usual bacon buttie and I made some crumble for him to take home to top some fruit he has already. I had invited him to lunch but he has also been invited out this evening. He has the remains of a cottage pie given him by a generous hostess. And he will get the leftovers from a local carvery delivered as well. He missed out on lunch.
So I had a solitary meal of salmon, new potatoes, peas and a generous dollop of home-made tartare sauce.
Don't worry, Jack. I know you hate waste so I'll eat your share today.
