Home produce

Here's what home produce we have been eating of late:-

Straight from the plot

Leeks Cabbage
Jerusalem artichokes

From the greenhouse

Chinese cabbage,
Tatsoi

(Both survived the hard frost in December, but the 'Winter Gem' lettuce was decimated)

Dry stored

Potatoes of different varieties, used depending on the cooking method,
Dried beans for stews,
Onions,
Pumpkins 
Apples 
Quince 
Walnuts

From the freezer

Cauliflower 
French Beans 
Broad beans 
Peppers 
Chillies 
Mainly used in desserts:-
Raspberries
Blackberries 
Blackcurrants 
Plums 
Apple slices

Store cupboard

Jams 
Chutneys 
Passata 
Honey

Dehydrated

Apple slices 
Plums

Missing in action this year: Carrots, parsnips, garlic, celery. The Summer drought made for some tough growing conditions on our sandy soil during 2022.

And of course we produce all our own meat (excepting beef which we therefore virtually never eat) and eggs.
