The limery has done us proud all year – from seeds sown in the propagator in January to the great abundance of peppers through the summer. Currently there’s a pot of rosemary flowering in there, although we’re a bit short of pollinators, and the passion flower vine is putting on plenty of new growth.
However, the most amazing thing may be that today, 20 December, I harvested these:
Freshly picked today
That’s right – tomatoes still ripening on the plant in the depths of winter. From these I will be able to make winter solstice passata!
