Pickled to death !
I am almost pickled out. Over the last few days I've pickled green tomatoes, red tomatoes, nasturium seeds and cucamelons. The plan is to move on to cucumbers and courgettes, which thank goodness are now slowing their rate of productions. There are myriad recipes for pickles on the internet, all different and many of them mutually inconsistent. Keep your eyes on Beetroot and Spuds Recipes where I will, in due course, be posting my own - tried and tested - recommendations. Our tomatoes are also drawing to an end for this year, but they're not quite over yet. So I'll finish with this parting shot of Flowerdew, on guard:
Hot ?
Hot ? So am I. In fact over the last 24 hours, the temperature has hit 42.5 ° C in our poly tunnel (on Plot A), and during the night, it got no lower than 15.9 ° C. 15.9 ! In fact it was probably hotter, as the thermometer is attached to our potting bench in the mouth of the tunnel. I think that next year a few iceberg lettuces could be a good idea.
It all looks delicious - especially the lovely bright chard stems. Good to see the beetrootandspuds!
