R away this week, so I've been gardening at my own pace. The tomatoes are getting blighted, but still producing more than manageable quantities. Still harvesting beet, rocket, mustard greens, celery and some runner beans. The peppers and chillis seem to have got the message and started ripening, better late than never.
Put some sprouting broccoli, asparagus kale, belarussian cabbage, red sorrel and spinach in the ground, and planted cauliflower seeds in the polytunnel. For hopefully some early greens in spring.

Max goes undercover as a potato. The aubergine plants collapsed so we just picked them.

Candied rhubarb ribbons at the Community Kitchen was a lot trickier than expected, but everyone loved them on top of rose and elderflower jelly with rhubarb cream and strawberries!
Also made pesto from garden greens and sunflower seeds, and a rhubarb curd cake.

Planted tomatoes and beans in the footpath garden. I wasn't planning to have tomatoes there this year, but there are surplus seedlings...
