Summer trundles on . . .

As summer trundles on the veg patch is starting to yield a few more tasty delights.  I have now had two batches of lovely vibrant beetroot out, my cherry tomatoes are finally beginning to make the slow transformation from tiny hard green beads to tasty ripe fruit and on a non edible note an old onion has produced a fantastically intricate and beautiful flower.  Still I battle the slugs trudging out in the fading light to poke them off my courgettes once again.

A snack from the patch . . .

Other than a handful of lettuce leaves and a titchy tiny beetroot this is my first real crop! I am a tad over excited by the novelty of going into the garden and pulling out some edible treats.  It is such a surprise how peppery a French Breakfast raddish can be when pulled straight out of the garden compared to the sad supermarket offerings.  Roll on the rest of the crop!
