Weekend Jobs

Didn't get a lot den this weekend, my dad was up so we were busy.  However we did get down to the plot and got a few jobs done.  We picked another 3lb of strawberries, some broad beans and some more potatoes. Almost finished the earlies but have a few more plants to dig up.

The main crop are flowering and the rain yesterday and last night would have helped them. Shallots are looking really good, some of the sets have split into 8/9 bulbs.  Also picked some more garlic and it is drying in the greenhouse. Need to work out where it is going to be stored.

At home the courgette plants are growing well, flowers have appeared and they are massive leaves!  The tomatoes in the greenhouse are flowering and some small fruits have appeared.  The Kale has almost finished and I might try and get some more going now so we can have it all autumn. The rhubarb is almost finished, probably one more harvest - will do some rhubarb chutney and rhubarb and strawberry jam.

I have bottled by Rhubarb vodka, it tastes ok and might be something I try again, esp for presents for people.  Am also going to try and do some black currant gin as well.

A good weekend really!
