Summer drawing to a close


As you can probably understand, there has been a haiatus from vegetable gardening this year. Baby V has taken up a lot of my time and because she's not yet on her feet I can't take her out there with me as I'd have to sit her on the limestone chips. 

With the help of my mom I have managed to get a few things in the vegge plot; pumpkins and runner beans and some Charlottes seed potatoes from Nath's sister. You can see how those did above, looking good eh. I'm not normally a fan of new potatoes but we recently had a fresh food subscription with HelloFresh. You subscribe to them and they send out a box full of high quality measured ingredients complete with recipe cards for 3 or 5 meals, depending on which option you select. The meat was amazing and the recipies have opened up a lot of new flavours and ideas to me. One recipie had new potatoes in a lovely warm salad, so I remade that dish as soon as my potatoes were ready. Delicious!
