Shoots and leaves...
The whims and woes, highs and lows, of trying to grow fruit and veg in Nordic latitudes.
We were in Billnas for lunch: the Magasinitori was grilling West Chark's beef fillet and we were ravenous, so we treated ourselves to steak and salad. But this evening was even more special because we had our first cucumber out of the polytunnel. It was really good and I'm dead pleased that we can grow cucumbers so easily - no sticks or strings or anything complicated like that. Just an organic grow bag and daily watering (we now had a drip feed system). The cucumbers grow like courgettes so they don't need to climb. By this time next week I have a feeling I will be sick and tired of cucumbers...
Picked courgettes and some more beetroot.
