Sunny Saturday




Although I went to the plot on Saturday I've only just had the time to put a post up. It was lovely, sunny and warm, nice to be outside but I was in a bit of a rush.




There hasn't been a proper frost yet and so the nasturtiums are still going strong. The dew hadn't yet burnt off the leaves at almost midday. I love they way the leaves turn blueish and the flowers much paler this late in the year.




Here's the double row of broad beans and you can see the garlic to the left of the picture, they're enjoying the mild november we've had so far.




A good four leaves on this bean plant, I think they've grown quicker than last year when it got very cold with snow by the end of the month.




This is a second cabbage, although they're beginning to ball up they still very small really. I picked a first cabbage which means there are now only three left to go.




Despite not having had a frost I wanted to see how the parsnips were doing. Very well as you can see, we ate these last night for dinner and they were very tasty too.
