The tomato I thought was turning colour the other day and a few others are definitely turning red now – I think we’ll be picking these in a couple of days, just after our neighbour who proudly showed us one he’d picked this morning, but we’re not competitive (really)!
All our ripening tomatoes are on the Languedocian plants, a variety which seem to do very well here in the Languedoc, not surprisingly.
And the rest of today’s harvest:
Three cucumbers, one aubergine, two Trébons sweet onions, one large Lézignan sweet onion and some herbs to go with them all. We also picked a couple of lettuces and one of them, with one of the cucumbers and a couple of goats’ cheeses from Mas Rolland, dressed with olive oil milled in the village, made a very nice lunch for a hot day.
Apart for the tomatoes your veggies are way ahead of mine!! Diane
Self sufficient summer here we come! Everything looks wonderful. We had our first runner beans yesterday, but we´ve still got about a week or so for our tomatoes to ripen
Oh Teleri, you have eggplants already! How are you going with water in your area? I read it is shockingly dry elsewhere in France.
Yes, Kate, aubergines/eggplants already – a couple of weeks earlier than usual this year! The water situation is as normal here – drought is the norm, unlike the rest of France further north and west where it’s not expected.
