LAST OF THE VINE.

Autumnal Harvest.... Today we harvest the last of our pumpkins and our spuds. the spuds, long keeping Ilam Hardys are great mashers , fluffy and tasty. The pumpkins, while a decent size have been not been the best in the flavour stakes. No great sweetness and a bit woody. Our Broccoli was great until a neighbouring cow wandered in and took all the best bits. We made another batch of pasta sauce today , fired up with our own chillies. and then harvested the last of the green tomatoes and made a heavenly batch of tomato relish. We wandered down to our pear tree that a fornight ago was loaded with sweet fruit. but alas it appears a possum has chomped the lot. So no pear chutney.
