Since my last post the allotment has blossomed with vegetables ripening nicely.
Tonight is the night for our first home grown vegetable curry. Yellow courgettes, green french beans, purple french beans and runner beans along with a white onion and a fist full of potatoes will make a lovely meal.
Whilst harvesting our beans a rabbit was spotted investigating next doors cabbages. I asked if he was called Peter but before answering he skipped away happily into the evening. There was a small blue jacket lying on the ground so I guess he'll be back for that sometime soon.
Photo51: The raw produce. How lovely they look.
Photo52: Rearranged into an underwater scene with the courgette taking on the role of a yellow submarine entangled in french bean seaweed - a little imagination required for this one.
Photo 52: Ready for the pan (important note - the red pepper is an impostor from Waitrose).Right, I'm off to investigate the lovely curry smells coming up from the kitchen. Glass of beer required I think. Mange tout, mange tout!
PS - I'm now the proud 'carer' for a Stihl petrol strimmer which Emily's grandpa has let me borrow on semi-permanant loan. Most fun - the untended allotment next door didn't stand a chance.
I loved everything about this post, but the under water scene was outstanding.
