Due to weather and ‘flu (mainly the latter), it’s the first time for very nearly three weeks that I’ve managed to get into the garden. Well, apart from pulling the odd leek or bit of kale for supper, that is. But sunny – though chilly – this morning, so I managed an hour.
The late winter / spring chard has been planted out. Worcester Black Pears have been picked – those without bird/insect damage stored in the shed, while the others have come indoors. I’ll cook them, but they’ll almost certainly remain rock hard, as traditionally they should be kept in a cool frost-free place until February or March, to allow the starches to convert into sugars.
Also indoors, the last green tomatoes, put into a paper bag on the windowsill at the start of the month, have finally turned colour.
