August

August means harvest!  I am in the kitchen surrounded by bowlfuls of Tomatoes, Aubergines, Peppers, Chillies, Courgettes, Borlotti Beans and Basil for Pesto. The colours are fantastic and I know the reason I grow veg - it is so beautiful!  The amount of picking and processing can be overwhelming and I have tricks up my sleeve for staying on top of it.  Click onto the course and let me help you through this very busy but spectacular month!
