The polyculture bed at the allotment has provided us with these lovely turnips and beetroot. The courgettes also keep coming. #Turnips #Beetroot #Courgettes #Allotment #AllotmentUK
Harvested the onions which were ready, some of them are right big stonkers. Jill had put together a rack so now they and the garlic are drying safely in our shed. It is full of the pungent aroma of onions and garlic 🧄🧅 #Onions #OnionsAndGarlic #Garlic #Allotment
I dug up our first crop of garlic from the allotment yesterday and got some really nice bulbs. Now we’ll have to dry them and string them to hang ready for use in the kitchen. #Garlic #GarlicLovers #Allotment #GrowYourOwn
