We plough the fields and scatter the good seed on the land...

Good morning! Happy September Sunday to you all. September is the month we traditionally associate with harvest here in the UK, and so I felt it might be timely and appropriate to post a photo under the cut of this morning's haul from my allotment and the hedgerows nearby.

Pippin volunteers to eat up your teeny-tiny carrots.

[lovefromafriend]

Aww, how can I refuse those eyes, that dear little face. The teeny-tiny carrots are all yours, Pippin!

Your haul this morning looks good. With the challenges of the weather, it seems that you are having a successful first harvest.

Good job!

[lovefromafriend]

Thanks, Addie :D

Everyone says this has been an exceptionally difficult year for growing produce, owing to the weather, so I'm pleased and grateful to have enjoyed a modicum success with some of my crops. Needless to say, I'm hoping for a normal, damp year next year!

That's a wonderful haul! Sorry you had a bit of a challenge with the heat and lack of rain, but yay that they still grew well. :)

Nice to hear that your carrots are tiny but still delicious!

[lovefromafriend]

Aww, thank you. Yes, the weather hasn't been the most helpful this year, but I'm pleased with the results, nonetheless. I haven't been to the allotment in about a week, so really need to go tomorrow to see what's happening! It will need a good water as it has been quite dry lately.

A friend tried one of the tiny carrots and remarked that that was how carrots used to taste in the 'olden days'!

:D

Happy September to you! I love this time of year. :)

What a beautiful harvest! I can practically smell the earthy freshness just looking at this photo. ^-^

Love your grateful spirit ♥ I'm honoured to be in your circle now. *hugs*

And my day...was great. I cleaned all day on Friday and most of yesterday so I really just relaxed and caught up on a very good book. ^-^

I learnt a new word today - allotment. I initially thought it meant .. allocation?

Splendid harvest!
