Very smug indeed



We harvested our first celery of the season yesterday, and very tasty it was too in a salad along with the lettuce and other items from our very smug trug. You can tell that the seasons are changing as not only are we harvesting summer crops, including strawberries but also autumn ones such as celery and pumpkins.

We planted lots of pumpkins but the rain earlier in the year have reduced our harvest by a good margin, however, the self set pumpkin (goodness knows where it came from) did amazingly well, offering up 18 pumpkins of a size just big enough for two people. I was astounded when we counted them up and will most certainly be saving some seed for next year.
