So chuffed with my harvest from the allotment today.
I'm away next week so wanted to harvest everything that was ready so that It didn't go to waste.
Rhubarb - enough for another crumble, (that's the last now).
Five onions -I'll chop these and freeze, we still have more in the ground to pull.
Two lettuce
Two cucumbers
Couple hands full of tomato's - (a little under ripe but I'll take them with us in a paper bag).
And 21 courgettes!
Think it's safe to say we planted too many courgettes this year 😂 although everyone likes them so they will be shared with extended family.
While I was there I also collected some more poppy seed heads.
They were so easy to collect, simply wait until the seed head has turned brown and just cut and shake out into a bag or container. I will leave the seed heads upside down in a bag for another week to collect any remaining seeds. Apparently the seeds need to be stored in the fridge and can be sown in the Autumn. Then, with a bit of luck I will have beautiful pink peony poppies next year. 😁

Nothing better than a good harvest, we have had many meals with veg I have grown, the taste is vastly different from shop brought.
What a good harvest, I'm so pleased for you.
All the best Jan
Wow thats some harvest, we're eating our own potatoes, runner beans and carrots from our own veg patch in our garden. We 've eaten all the lettuce so I'll sow more next year.
Now that is a great harvest. Look at all that yellow zucchini.
God bless.
Such a lovely harvest. Warm greetings from Montreal, Canada ❤️ 🇨🇦
Wow look at all your goodies , enjoy .
Hugs June.
99 ways with courgettes is a section on my recipe page!!
Your harvest looks great, Maggie! Our vegetable garden has really suffered this year with too much rain and heat. Hope you've got lots of tasty zucchini recipes on hand! Enjoy your weekend! ♥
It's so exciting when all the hard work earlier in the year pays off and you're bringing home bumper harvests. I think we all learn, rather quickly, how many courgette plants we need, haha. Enjoy your time away this week, hope you get some nice weather after the storms we've had this last weekend.
The poppy seed heads look lovely in the little jar. Hopefully, with all your poppy seeds, you will have plenty of beautiful new plants next year. Lots of plants for free. Brilliant.
