From the first leeks and cabbages in late February up to the baskets of quince in November, 2010 has been a great year for Bellebouche produce.
We have enjoyed eating cherries, peaches, plums and pears picked straight from our trees - tomatoes picked and eaten before reaching a salad plate – strawberries and blueberries popped into an eager mouth before reaching a bowl – cucumbers, lettuce and fresh herbs all mixed into a summery salad – courgettes and patissans grilled on the bbq and many many more delights.
The only downfall is that at this time of year – the garden is bare. Nothing left to graze on while walking around the orchard or potager. So, how do we remedy this sad situation?
