Romsey Ranges

pumpkin harvest 2022... a metaphor for the last few years really... overall cant complain, but many challenges along the way... poor perfoming seed, rats/mice eating seed, seedlings transplantedtoo late, amd it t usually works, but corn interplanting this time hindered 2 seperate varieties, yield ok, but ripeness is borderline - thanks Romsey summer..

but we have many good ones amongst it all.,.always grateful for the harvest 🙏

Bring on 2023

black is the new red...
so many black tomatoes this year, beautiful jewels

picking peas on this last day of spring, and we finally got a warm one ☀️☀️

beautiful mizuna mix heading out today, almost too pretty to cut 😍

just a little snippet of some of the vegetables growing amongst the weeds that are absolutely loving this warm but wet spring.
Spinach about 4 weeks transplant to harvest is fantastic.
Zucchini flowers for not far away either. Asparagus is growing inches before our eyes and the first of our fresh garlic, broadbeans and other spring produce are available via Orders close tonight for Friday delivery 🌱🌱🌱

no one told these guys that it is almost mid may.. 3 weeks till winter and still green leaves, flowers, and ripening 🤷🏼‍♀️

radicchio looking bright and shiny in this spectacular autumn sun.. not far away now

fennel - you either love or not... I'm firmly in the love camp, if i had a spirit vegetable, this is it
just cut from the field and the smell is incredible

perfect pulp.. yesterday we bottled our san marzano passata. Six dozen bottles of liquid sunshine to get us through the depths of Romsey winter. Now to try and get the cherry toms roasted and bottled for a ready to serve sauce.
If anyone wants green tomatoes for relish, pickles etc, come and get them

getting them in before the rain next week..2021 pumpkin harvest
looking good but, dissapointingly, an extremely low yield this season.

one for the giant veg files...
1.3kg's worth of purple top globe turnip 😳

what a magic day... first frost, but very little damage, just a few leaves on most of the summer crops.
planted season 2021 garlic, 5 different varieties that I've been saving over the years.
applied BD 500 late this afternoon on moon op saturn and good rain yesterday.
full of hope and promise for the seasons to come
