My borlloto and blue lake beans .. I think I grew them for the colours as much as anything ! . . The blue lake don’t seem to stay this beautiful blue when drying ... ( or is that just me ?) . . But the borlloto stay this cream and pink which when I first saw them I fell in love and knew I had to grow them - no matter what .. . . Sometimes you just have to grow things that make you happy - even if they don’t make a lot .. . These blue lake are being dried for seed - same with some of the borlotto . . The rest of the borlotto will be dried and jarred for food for the winter chilli. . Just frozen first batch of chillis - for chilli jam - and chilli ! . . Some of the tomatoes are turning red - so I m freezing them as I go - so I can make sauces and chutneys next week.. . . Also blanching and par cooking potatoes for future roasters - . Nothing is being wasted. . . Re planted carrot seeds in the permaculture bed.. . . Cabbages to go out today ! . . It’s all go this growing me-larky!! . . #homegrownbeans #fresgveggies #homegrownvegetables #homegrownveggies #homemade #gardeners #gardening #gardenlife #gardenjobs #gardener #kitchengarden #kitchengardening #homestead #homesteading #lovethislife #lovethislifestyle

Even though I m still feeling pretty awful .. the garden needed me to harvest it.. before those blooming slugs got in there and scoffed everything 🤣. . I do expect some losses to them and I have enough tomatoes to share a few ! . . But I m not willing to share lots.. . . So out I went to get what I need for the salas - chutneys - . Breads .. hummus.. . . And look at those finger nails / full of dirt!! 😍😍. . @what_jaxs_loves_ it felt good to be out there up to my elbows !! . . My next post is going to tell you about something I want to grow next year.. it’s not edible... but definitely useful ! . . Dirt on my hands ( and probably face lol ) sun on my back — breeze in my hair .. perfect .. . . . ❣ . . #homemade #homegrown #homegrownbeans #homegrownveggies #homegrowntomatoes #homegrowncourgettes #homegrownbeans #handpicked #freshfruit #fresgveggies #freshtomatoes #freshvegetables #chard #carrots #goodfood #freefood #kitchengarden #kitchengardening #allotment #allhomegrown #allotmentlove #allotmentlife #allotmentgarden https://www.instagram.com/p/BnG7tdAg2G-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k142vjdpgcfd

It just had to be done .. 2 gorgeous dippy eggs and gluten free tiger bread toasted with lactose free butter .. and I tell you it was lush !! ... . . I bought a gluten free pizza base .. made the tomato sauce. . All from my garden . 10 good sized tomatoes - cores and chopped . 1 red onion . 2 cloves of garlic . 1 green courgette. Handful of fresh basil . Big handful fresh chard ( could be spinach) Thyme- dried . Half a cup of water .. . Bring to the boil and simmer till everything is soft .. then give it all a whizz up it should be funny but thickish .. add pepper to taste. Pour over pizza base - top with grated lactose free cheese ( or whatever cheese you like ). . Cook for about 20 mins. . . I did nt take a picture because we d eaten it before I thought about it - because it was lush!! . . . It’s lovely to just walk through the garden and made our dinner from what’s ready .. - -I use the above recipe to pour over cooked pasta too - it’s really lovely - everyone ate it and licked the bowls!! . . Try it. . . #freshfood #fresgveggies #freshvegetables #homegrown #homegrownbeans #homegrownveggies #homegrownvegetables #kitchengarden #kitchengardening #gardentoplate #gardentoforklife #gardentoplatetobelly #eatingfresh #eatingfreshfood #allotment #allotmentlife #allotmentgarden #gardeners #gardening #gardenlife #gardenjobs #cooking #recipes
