Last Sunday as we were leaving the allotment after a couple of hours of weeding, and building, and planting, we made a list of what we are currently growing. Want to know what that list reads like?
- Tomatoes
- Lettuce
- Green beans (x 8 rows)
- Peas (x 4 rows)
- Swedes
- Parsnips
- Peppers
- Chillies
- Spring onions
- Red onions
- Runner beans
- Squash
- Onions
- Artichokes
- Garlic
- Sweetcorn
- Potatoes
- Red spring onions
- Broad beans
- Shallots
- Beetroots
- Cabbages
- Sprouts
At home we are also growing more tomatoes and leeks. I am proud of this list. I cannot wait to eat all the produce that we are growing, and to make jam and share these foods with friends. I wake up thinking about the allotment and garden and go to bed with further plans of how we can make it better.
I have come to the decision that to fully enjoy summer and all the other things going on beside the vegetables, I am going to take a blogging vacation. I’ll be back on the 1st September when I will hopefully be renewed and afresh!
Have a great summer!

P.S. I’ll still be on Twitter and on Instagram (find me at Perfecting Pru).
What are Swedes? This is a very long list! You are working hard at this!
Hi Brette, I checked and a swede is the equivalent of a rutabaga in the US. It is a long list of vegetables but we are already starting to reap the rewards with peas and broad-beans being eaten and frozen.
Have a great summer!
