The weather was against me today, I thought it was just a fine drizzle but as the morning went on it changed to light rain and eventually into a downpour. But by this time I was on my way home from the allotment. I had to go there today to pick anything and everything that grew during the time I wasn’t able to go. The harvest started in the greenhouse in the garden, these are Turkish Dolma chillies but they are lovely and sweet, just like peppers.

Once I got to the allotment I started with courgettes. I shouldn’t have been surprised but they were great, all different colours and sizes.

After that I did the tomatoes in the greenhouses and outside and at the same time I found a lot of cucumbers as well.

Now I had two very heavy bags and I wanted to bring some of my nice apples home as well .

Fortunately my wheelbarrow is on the allotment ready for such situations. I loaded it all in, picked some sweet corn and took it all home.

After lunch I started making pasta sauce using all the tomatoes, some peppers, a few courgettes, about three cobs and got it cooking. No water was needed as the tomatoes are very juicy.

All this reduced down and I’ve got four more jars of delicious pasta sauce. There is some of the sauce left and we’ll have it tomorrow night with pasta.
