So many lovely things to harvest at the moment on the allotment. I thought I might have missed the Victoria plums while I was on holiday but luckily I didn’t. So this week we “have been mostly eating plums”, plum crumble, plum cake….Also tomatoes (just right for a pizza), courgettes and ruby chard (these both taste so nice fresh picked). As well as savouring these seasonal fruit and veg now I’m also trying to preserve as much of the harvest as I can to enjoy at a later date.

Harvests have inspired some of my handmade beads, and I enjoy trying to capture harvests and the allotment in photographs.
