Tomatoes have been ripening for a while, and they are now coming thick and fast. This was yesterday's haul
Some of them had split, I assume because of all the rain we have had and the amount of water they have taken on so I put them aside for cooking... probably a nice bolognese today. I separated out another batch for freezing
The remainder will be used in salads. My latest sowing of lettuces aren't quite ready, but I cut a few of the leaves from each plant which was more than enough
In the greenhouse, the second aubergine is coming along nicely
Most of the chillies have ripened to a glorious red colour
And... there is some ripening on the sweet peppers.
Hopefully the others will follow soon.

Let the freezing commence...
If I'm going to achieve self-sufficiency one day I need to get into the habit of freezing excess produce rather than consuming portions that are far too large... even if veg is extremely good for you.
So to start this off, today I picked and froze two portions of tomatoes and a bag of beans.
