Autumn Equinox

The long, hot summer has been productive at the allotment.  Here's a few sample pics, but we also had kohlrabi, some radishes and carrots, and squash/pumpkin leaves (cooked as spinach).

Autumn Equinox was yesterday, and brought with it colder weather.  That meant having to harvest all leftover summer crops from the allotment, things like tomatoes, courgettes and squashes.

We had 2.5 kg green tomatoes, which I used to make pickles (there are still some left, I'll have to check out some recipes.  In the box are Spaghetti Squash, which we already tried a couple of times (it's tasty and light, but not terribly spaghetti-textured) and Blue Hubbard squash, still to be tasted.

Finally, here's an early September shot of the garden - the placement of the table in the non-grass lawn was fantastic during the hot, sunny summer.  We really felt one with nature, especially surrounded by the lavender and fennel which were buzzing with all kinds of bees.
