Harvests etc

Hello peeps, sorry I haven't been here in a while, sometimes I forget, sometimes I'm too busy and sometimes there's just not much to blog. While I've been away I've had a bumper crop of tomatoes, so many in fact I've been giving them away to friends and family. About 5 medium sized punnets in all, they ripened pretty late this year it was September when they all seemed to redden at once. Really tasty though there's nothing like the taste of proper organic tomatoes, in the supermarkets they're far too watery.

I've also had a few tasty raspberries off a very small plant and some strawberries too, I am currently raising rhubarb too but they are quite slow growing and even though I set them off indoors in August they probably won't be ready till next August and even then only a light harvest should be taken from the plants, in Yorkshire we have a tradition of "forcing" rhubarb which means growing it in the dark to make it grow faster and sweeter, it grows so fast in these conditions it can be heard growing. It's grown in a place called the Rhubarb Triangle in between Leeds, Wakefield and Bradford mainly around a town called Rothwell. I am undecided whether to give it a go, it might be a good idea for my smaller garden as it doesn't get any sun anyway. On a small scale the rhubarb just needs growing under a bucket.
Anyway that's all for now but I'll be back a little more regularly now hopefully.
