Today is about food

Thankfully our tomatoes have survived our few days away thanks to a special watering system we have so I have harvested some today now that they are finally ready.  There are lot of fruits on them, a good crop, but only a handful are ready.  The beetroot and carrots are doing really well and we've been harvesting those when we need to as well.

We have cherry tomatoes and chocolate cherry tomatoes, yes, CHOCOLATE.  They're not made of chocolate, nor do they taste of chocolate but they are a brown colour and taste very nice, better than those in the supermarkets which are forced grown and not particularly flavoursome.

I have also got my backside into gear and made the mincemeat for Yule and Christmas.  I usually do this much earlier in the year but it should still have time to mature in the brandy.
