Potato Hash Browns

Good potato harvest this year (Nicola's - you can't beat them) and I'll be scouring for potato recipes to make sure we eat them all.

Here's the first which Tom and Rachel were making during this morning's Skype call.  Hash browns - grated potato, egg, flour and mustard - randomise quantities of each.  I decided to make them into patty-shaped things which probably spoilt them a bit as they weren't cooked so well inside so, a bit stodgy in the middle. I'll try them loose next time.  Interesting that they egg was a double yolk, the first I've ever seen actually.

First ripe tomato

Plenty of green tomatoes, in the greenhouse and in the open air, but here's the first ripe one.  Framed with a few other bits and pieces including some garliic bulbs that have opened a bit and won't store for long.

'Spring' Onions

OK, I know it' a little past Spring but I've only just got round to picking these from RaisedBed1.

I think I probably planted too many, or probably should be harvesting more frequently rather than all in one go.

Courgette > Marrow

A week away in Galicia, Spain and tomatoes and courgette maintenance was always at the back of my mind.  Tomatoes watered by my allotment neighbour Alison, but courgettes left to fend for themselves.

Here's the scale of results (knife added for scale.-  the big one is very big!)

Now checking out marrow recipes.

Spring onions (in Summer)

A bit plump but nice 

Beets continued

Ready for roasting,roasted and peeled.  Might even get round to eating them this week.
