Last of the summer . . . carrots

 


I've had a mixed summer produce-wise.  

The beetroot has been highly successful and there are just a few left to be eaten in the next few days.

The tomatoes aimed for world domination and I think I have made around twenty-five boxes of soup for the freezer.

The runner beans were not wonderful but there were more than enough for me.  I had already decided that I didn't want to freeze any.  

I grew tromboncino squash successfully but will probably try something different next year.

The rocket grew incredibly quickly and it went to seed before I could eat much of it.  

The cabbage white butterflies enjoyed the tenderstem broccoli.

The lettuces and radishes were good but again I couldn't keep pace with them when it came to eating them.

And on Saturday I pulled the final carrots of an excellent crop and made a delicious soup.


This is my 1000th post.  Thank you for reading and, especially, thank you for commenting.

  3. How big is your freezer?!?!?! It's really hard to manage to eat and freeze everything when it all comes up at once.
    1000 posts is certainly a milestone.

    1. Quite big! I've long lived in places which are not very near supermarkets so I need to store food. And I like soup.
