love nature and live how you like

adventures in non-violent subsistence

29 July 2006

This is a selection of yesterday's harvest: a few beans from my paltry climbing beans, a leaf or two from some kales, summer sprouting brocolli, courgette Tempra and a bunching onion Shimonita:

The bunching onion was great to cook with - like a huge welsh onion but with a texture only slightly coarser than a spring onion. Unfortunately, due to the intervention of our two year old, I only have a few more reaching maturity...but have about a hundred in pots awaiting planting out. If they are winter hardy I'd go as far as to say that they will replace bulb onions, especially those ridiculous sets, in my allotment in future.
