What's for dinner tonight?

This afternoon we harvested the broad beans. From a double 5ft row we managed to crop 3lb of beans.

For dinner we have some charlotte potatoes, broad beans, along with peas and baby carrots.

Measure twice, cut once... think first...

Today Sparkly set about making a frame to cover a brassica bed to protect it from greedy pigeons.
She has done a great job, but I have mentioned in the past that we prep things at home and assemble on the plot as I didn't want to have to carry it there.

I mentioned this, and got moaned at... but then pointed out the obvious...

It wouldn't go through the front door :)

Purple Chillies

This year we are growing a range of varieties of chilli. The chillies are well into their growing season now (planted in early Feb) with all varieties in flower and some with immature fruits set. Pictured below is 'chilli purple'.
