This weeks harvest

Not overly imaginative but this is the first year with the allotment so actual space to grow stuff in.
The OH and I are feeling very proud of ourselves.

Oh you too have sweet chestnuts falling! Everthing is all at the wrong time (conkers, sweet chestnuts, walnuts - I'm sure they normally fall in October - I think of the first two around Halloween/Bonfire Night) yet the peaches have come in 3rd week of September as per normal. It's all rather bizarre this year.

Nice haul Gem!

Yeah they are a bit small tbh but i am still gathering them in case the squirrels pinch the rest! Looking forward to making pesto with the hazelnuts!

so have you moved the posts or deleted them dont forget I put up the links to prove what I was saying was right

A few of this year's grapes, soon to be wine.

[Catalysthere]

Wow, well done, I have put grapes on my list of to-do's for next year, yours look really juicy, good luck with the wine! Hic.

Can I change my entry please? I'd rather submit this: it's entitled "autumn evenings"

[Millymollymandy]

It's not really 'harvest' though is it Mrs Flibble? For the sake of clarification harvest in the sense of this competition is photos of edible plant matter that you have grown or foraged i.e. veg, fruit, nuts or mushrooms. We can always have an 'autumn' competition next month.

Also one entry only each please - so Catalysthere I will have to ask you to decide which photo is the one you would like to enter.

[mrsflibble]

sorry, i thought it was just a september photo competition.

On the plot fresh out of the ground still with the mud before going home to eat it.

OK have to admit I don't know what the knobbly red things are - I imagine J artichokes but I didn't know they were red! Otherwise if you are having that much success with sweet potatoes let us into your secret Flo!

Gosh I really must get my own photo up which I took a while back - I'm just lazy about the bother with reducing size etc!

[Flo]

They are pink fir apple potatoes known locally as old man's todgers

[Millymollymandy]

SPUDS!!!! Oh god that's really embarrassing that I can't recognise a potato.

[Millymollymandy]

*whispers* do old men really have knobbly todgers like that?
