Instead of a cake for the volunteers today, I took some of the Membrillo I made on Sunday with some bits of cheese, for people to taste the produce from the quince that was available last week.
We have finished potting on all the winter salads so there were some baby plants left over, destined for the compost. I rescued some of them as we can grow them on in our new greenhouse.

Somehow, some time ago we must have dropped a turnip seed in the corner of the propagation tunnel and now look at it! It made me think of the delightful children’s story The Great Big Enormous Turnip by Alexei Tolstoy and Helen Oxenbury, the copy of which I have just pulled from the children’s shelves. It needs a bit more growing time to reach those proportions!.
