It has been several weeks since I’ve been to the allotment and I knew it would be overgrown with weeds so yesterday I enlisted some helpers called Ben, Daniel, and Elizabeth. We managed to get a lot done in a short period and I think the kids even enjoyed aspects of it like harvesting potatoes which is a bit like digging for treasure.


We returned home with a decent selection of vegetables including onions, garlic and a very large marrow. At home I have lots of cherry tomatoes in my glasshouse so I decided to set a challenge for myself to cook dinner with only produce I’ve grown myself.


I stuffed the marrow with onions, garlic, tomatoes, chives, oregano, sage, parsley and roasted the potatoes. The only thing I didn’t grow was a bit of olive oil tossed on the potatoes for roasting. Oh and also a dash of perry vinegar for the marrow stuffing, plus we grated some leftover of my homemade sourdough as breadcrumbs for the top.
