Many hands

Certainly make things a lot easier!

Had some friends stay over last night and we cooked a roast dinner this afternoon (maybe nit the wisest move in this heat!), but regardless they said last night that they'd like to go to the plot and earn their lunch.

Who am I to prevent people from feeling a sense of worth?

I have to say that they made a massive impact in the weeds and I rewarded them with a bag full of runner beans, potatoes and some other beans (can't remember what they're called, but the pods or white/purple verigated).

So, we came back, put the oven on and got cooking (well LadyWayne did most of it if I'm honest). Roast beef, roast potatoes, roasted baby beetroot, boiled baby carrots and runner beans and yorkshire puds and stuffing. Pudding was rhubarb crumble and vanilla custard.

I am pleased to say that all the fruit and veg we ate was grown by me.

*smug smile*

Feeling a bit more positive about the plot now - oh, and I nearly forgot!

Whilst clearing weeds away I had a look at the Chicago Warted Hubbard squash and there was a fruit in amongst the abundance of flowers and it was/is MASSIVE! So very very happy.

Oh, and some nice light bulb shaped little chestnut squashes revealed themselves too.

A good day.
