Shoots and leaves...
The whims and woes, highs and lows, of trying to grow fruit and veg in Nordic latitudes.
Tomorrow is the big day: our first farmers' market. Got here late afternoon and it gets dark quite quickly so I found myself pulling up beetroot in pitch darkness. I'm so glad we dealt with all the pumpkins last weekend - they are sitting on the trailer wrapped up in carpets as there will almost definitely be a frost tonight. The locals told us that the temperatures haven't fallen below zero yet but the foliage in the polytunnel looks like it was a near thing.
I picked all the chillies and the tomatoes, and the last of the cucumbers. I will hang up the chillies to dry, make soup with the cucumbers. Can't be bothered to ripen the tomatoes indoors so they will all be made into chutney (at least that's my excuse!)
