It’s been a day of harvesting today at Community Roots – all the onions and the ripe tomatoes all gathered in and room now to plant out the winter brassicas and the later salad crops.
Just one of the 7 varieties we grow – these are Costaluto Fiorentino
My job today was to organise a Tomato Tasting of all seven varieties. The favourite was the cherry tomato, Mango Lassi, sweet and delicious!
A Sunflower somehow planted itself in one of the poly-tunnels and we’ve been watching it carefully, not clearing it away. It has bent over and sprouted flowering stems from up and down the stem – 8 flowers so far and at least four more buds to open.

Only a 10 min drive so very accessible and a joy to go to each week to be a part of such a positive project. 🙂
