Our first non-rhubarb decent harvest – so much fruit! Over 1.5 kilos of strawberries & just under a kilo of raspberries. Plenty has been frozen for jam making etc. We’d even got some purple sprouting broccoli, potatoes and a few more courgettes! The beans are doing really quite well, almost up to my neck now!
Today the first sets of berries have started to ripen and ‘joy of joys’ courgettes are appearing.
I'm Tim, a 29yr old ex-Allotmenteer. My wife and I used to have a small 5 rod plot in South Essex where we grew all manner of veg. I'm also involved in brewing the odd keg of beer.
Recently we bought a house with a 65ftx30ft garden, which we're converting into a mini orchard and veg beds. The entire transformation is happening at the moment and being chronicled by a timelapse camera.
The hope is to introduce chickens next year into the orchard to allow them free range.
