The carrots were so small, so cute, and smelled so 'carroty'. But not all are blemish free, if you take a look closer look, one of them has been attacked by the dreaded carrot fly. Boo hoo, how? the tub was so high. I cannot understand it. Hopefully, not many of the others will be affected.
I made this recipe of Baby Summer Vegetables with a Lemon Vinaigrette from Delia Smith's Summer Collection. The shelling of the peas, and then popping the broad beans from their outer skins was a bit of a nuisance especially after a long day at work. But hey, it was worth it. And the carrots, oh they were so flavourful...
Yum! I would love some baby carrots!
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to thin the carrot box some more this weekend, so more baby carrots - no need to peel either.
ReplyDeleteYour carrots and fennel look amazing. I hope you enjoy today's sunshine up North.
ReplyDeleteThank you Flowerpower,
ReplyDeleteIt has been rather hot up here, too hot to be working at the allotment, but that is still what I did.
Those vegetables look delicious. A plate of fresh seasonal vegetables after work is one the best things about having an allotment. The carrots are fab - I think carrot fly is very very common, especially on allotment sites. I've never really found the answer.
