The Luneor courgettes are already coming thick and fast. First few are ready to pick this week. These ones won't be sliced. They'll be hollowed out, stuffed and baked whole. 🌱🥒 #kitchenharden #courgettes #plottoplate

First blueberries ready this morning. Duke variety. Not the finest blueberry I grow, but they arrive before the others and this morning's crop is heading straight for my yoghurt. 🫐 #blueberryseason #blueberries🫐 #blacklaneallotments

This week’s sourdough bake: a rustic 81% hydration country loaf made with True South West stoneground white, organic Maris Widgeon and organic wholemeal flour. The long fermentation produced a crisp, deeply blistered crust and a soft, open interior with plenty of wheaten flavour. Fresh from the oven and cooling on the rack. #sourdough #artisanbread #countrybread

This morning's carrot harvest. Cosmic Purple, Purple Haze and Amsterdam Forcing. Sown from seed earlier in the year and pulled fresh from the kitchen garden today. There’s something satisfying about growing carrots - you never quite know what’s waiting beneath the soil until harvest day. These won’t be hanging around for long. 🥕 #cosmicpurple #kitchengarden #blacklaneallotments #goodfooodkitchen

A blue tit fledgling took an unscheduled trip out of its nest this morning. What followed was a race between my husband, Vincent, and Luna the cat to see who could reach it first. Thankfully Vincent won and the baby is back where it belongs. #bluetit #birdsofinstagram
