A plum harvest

There’s something glorious about harvesting your own fruit and veg. Throughout the summer I’ve been enjoying picking my tomatoes, and earlier this week we picked our plums. Unlike last year, when we didn’t have any plums, we have had quite a good crop. I’m hoping I’ll have enough to make some jam, as my plum jam has been going down very well with our guests.

The tomato plants are still doing well, and producing some gorgeously sweet tomatoes. Amazingly we are managing to eat all that I pick. My chilli plant has also borne some fruit, and the chillis are nice and spicy, which we like. I’d also picked a little mint for some courgette and mint soup I was making, we have quite a bit of it spread out over the garden.
