I think they laugh at Sophie and I in our shed with a bottle of wine, or making tea for the girls! We've had masses of strawberries too, and I am just starting to get stuff to bring home every time. It makes the hours slogging in the bad weather worthwhile doesn't it?!<BR/>Cathy Xpinkgreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04142564092523018269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655114399620007339.post-30168052652141619342008-06-30T00:18:00.000+01:002008-06-30T00:18:00.000+01:00That blackberry jam sounds yummy-I'm looking forwa...That blackberry jam sounds yummy-I'm looking forward to blackberry and raspberry season!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10790498956206713440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655114399620007339.post-74036296750411874472008-06-28T15:53:00.000+01:002008-06-28T15:53:00.000+01:00The bread looks delicious and I certainly agree wi...The bread looks delicious and I certainly agree with you on the matter of sticky toffee pudding.Funkymonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03981677274774220419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655114399620007339.post-56351952848417747662008-06-27T20:40:00.000+01:002008-06-27T20:40:00.000+01:00Your crops are coming along great, it's so nice to...Your crops are coming along great, it's so nice to be able to grow your own food - so much more satisfying than nipping to the supermarket! - The tea bread recipe looks yummy too, just the sort of food I like - Natalie xSummer by the seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18057439331089058858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655114399620007339.post-43987399610080283342008-06-27T20:14:00.000+01:002008-06-27T20:14:00.000+01:00Ooooo---lots of deliciousness here!

We would never leave our allotment emptyhanded, they were always coming over and giving us armfuls of fruit and veg - such a lovely bunch of people. You look as if you're producing enough to set up a pick your own site!!! Have you thought of cucumber pickle or relish I think I've seen jars of it in the shops (or maybe not!).
