September's Coming Soon




I've had a more occupied few weeks than I'm normally inclined to allow myself, which meant it's been over a full week since I got the chance to get down to the allotment - the place where, all other things being equal, I'd always rather be.  I came back with all this:


Kale, apples, corn, rhubarb, squash, chives and basil.  All my own work.  Well, nature's work.  But I'm a human so I like to take the credit.

I'm not sure the corn's quite as ripe as it could be, but more or less:


I shredded half the kale and threw it into my slow cooker to pad out one of my endless soups.  No idea what to do with the squash yet.  I like how squash can last for weeks and weeks and weeks, thanks to their thick, thick skin.  A handy vegetable for a man without a fridge.  By way of comparison, I present to you the following photo I took in a supermarket this week of a thing that actually exists:


No further comment.  Here's a little YouTube video for you:


The apples and rhubarb are for Sarah, as per her request.  She has grand post-foraging plans.  Stay tuned for more.
