The Mock Turtle

Oh who needs veg. You can just live on nasturtium leaves.

Oh wow. Nasturtium pesto ftw?

J took this the other day as I was toiling away in an actual office. It went red pretty much overnight - I had no idea it was going to turn!

Will you carve, eat and/or share Baa?

I'll eat em all, they should all store over winter, they're hanging out in the spare room now. Some might not keep quite as long, as I'm not sure what variety they are! But I can start with them. The butternut squash will keep til spring,fingers crossed!

It's potato tiiiime! I have Maris pipers and pink fir apples here. I have also had a crop of Nicola and Charlotte, and have some Maris Peer still in the ground.

We had leek and potato soup for lunch (am also drowning in leeks), moules frites for tea tonight, and beef bourginion with mash tomorrow. Potato potato potato.

Is that a “cock and balls” potato?

It is, yes

Here’s a clearer view of my nasturtium take over! That’s not my ginge.

They're really loving the warm autumn

They really are but I’m going to have to destroy them due to self-seeding! Such a mistake to plant them there!

They'll be back

I made a pea prison. I did a bunch of weeding and flinging compost about and just about left in the daylight.

We need a new thread for the new year. Any title ideas?

“The thread where Baa makes us feel like we’re not trying hard enough”?

I get my first full year at the allotment, we're going to be drowning in veg.

So exciting Baa. Yes please to a new thread, I have a lot to get to grips with, but I'm failing to have any title inspiration.

Eta. Trowel & Error?

I like that! And I have had errors today
