chickencam Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Another huge swede. We have never had any success before it must be the one advantage of the rain this summer. The chooks go crazy for the leaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 A great big bunch of carrots - my last ones I am roasting them with thyme to have with some lovely thick free range pork loin chops I just got from the Butcher - from the farm down the road My Swede has done well too Chickencam (I only have one,though!)

superjules Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Chilli peppers and tigerella tomatoes (from the greenhouse) for some chutney. Beetroot and a massive marrow from the veg plot. A sweetcorn that I must have missed and is now past it's best (chickens won't mind it for sweetcorn swingball though! ) Some of next door's apples and pears. They just leave them all to go rotten so it's a shame to let them go to waste!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Lesley, have you got any crab apples? My usual supply isn't in the office at the moment and I want to make some jelly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I yellow tomato and four red rock hard small ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Enough runner beans to serve three of us. From plot to plate in less than 10 mins. Absolutely beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 You lucky thing - ours are all finished We picked sunflowers - Lauren and Jake took them home as I still have lots in the garden to grow for seeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Licken Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Butternut squash which I made into soup - delicious. This morning I have put a box together for harvest festival. Squash, courgette, french beans and runner beans (both are having a second crop - fab), spinach, potatoes and a jar of jam. All home grown or home made. I am feeling quite proud of myself. No eggs in there though as I only have todays ones and I think 2 eggs would look a bit forlorn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missuscluck Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 The last of the apples and ate one whilst doing the gardening. Yum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
