Harvest gathered in/

Tweet

I collected more green tomatoes from the allotment. I will have to fry them or use them in soup unless any of you give me ideas that do not involve going to the shop for vinegar, brown sugar or garlic. It is too far. I also collected beetroot leaves and have tiny beetroots. The leaves seem to be the best part of that growing excersise. Pumkins are small but gathered in as there will be a frost and the spinach will have to take pot luck. There are two tiny courgettes left so I am chancing they might be marrows before the frost comes. It has gone cold and the cat did not follow me to the allotment as usual. She stayed in the warm. I wonder if the single artichoke plant, the rhubarb, the herbs and the everlasting spinach will survive? There are still pumpkin flowers and signs of tiny pumpkins and flowers on the tomato plants but surely a frost will stop it all? It is years since I grew anything and I never had a mole to help me dig before but it has made some of the earth very fine.
