ALLOTMENT SHOWOFF 2: MIXED VEGETABLES OF SIX KINDS


19 August
I expect that most of you are sensibly waiting till the last possible moment to show off your veg, monster-grower-style. However, Amanda has taken the plunge after I begged her to on seeing her gorgeous veg on her blog. Honestly, doesn't it look amazing? Ooh, the dinners I could make with that. 


















Also got permission from Glosterwomble to finagle this picture from its spot on the GW blog cos it was just sooooo gorgeous:

Mark Diacono, climate change farmer at Otter Farm, sent me this totallllllllllyyyyy gorgeous picture. He has been leading the garden team at River Cottage, so I guess he has an advantage there. But if that wasn't knackering enough he is currently writing Veg Patch: River Cottage Handbook Number 4 (following up Pam Corbin's really great one about Preserves, which is currently my favourite cup-of-tea reading) - it'll be out in March next year, but you can already buy it on Amazon!

These veg are special - grown practically in the shadow of the City of London. Check out Rus in Urbis for more pics of how to live a very satisfactory country life in the heart of E1.

Now a two-parted show-off of Northants' "Plethora of Produce" by Mr J. Alexander-Sinclair: In most uxorious fashion, it is on behalf of Mrs C. Alexander-Sinclair. She obviously has a nice touch with the veg. Is that even a melon in there? Sickening isn't it? 






























One last, very beautiful entry from MissHathorn at Mustard Plaster
