Flying Visit

The TLB & I made a flying visit to the allotment this afternoon after a visit to the zoo. The string holding the windbreak together had broken causing more problems.

I finally picked some of the overwintered Chard. It is looking very fresh and tender, unlike the big fat late season stalks. We also picked some Early Purp for a stir fry with sesame seeds, garlic, onion, mushroom, a splash of white wine, a few chives from the garden and Blue Dragon crushed yellow bean sauce. We also used "add to the pan" noodles. Not strictly Allotment business but while we were at the Zoo today it (lightly & briefly) snowed!
