Home Grown

I dug up the last of the early potatoes yesterday 




and harvested more courgettes! The beetroot are doing well and taste delicious, they are such a deep, dark red.


I had to buy more vinegar yesterday to pickle them in. I use cider vinegar and simply slice the beetroot thinly, pack it into a jar and cover with the vinegar. We usually eat it so quickly that I don't need to do any more to it - however, I'm having such a good harvest I might have to do a 'proper pickle' if I want to preserve all the crop.


Saw a recipe for mash made from potato and beetroot - brilliant colour - I might try that today with roast chicken to brighten up our Sunday!
