Yum!  I am making cucumbers and onion salad....need to use up some cukes that can’t wait for my pickling this weekend!

Onions. 
As in oven baked hollowed halved length wise courgettes , filled with very slightly thickened pre cooked well seasoned minced pork & beef mincemeat with lashings of onions and some super fine diced carrots in the cooked mincemeat , served on a bed of long grain rice .

 I've lifted all three sq ft beds of onions . Almost 1/3 of the red skinned onions had run to seed well before they had attained full size due to the crazy weather were experiencing .   I've cut the flowered stems and other leaves off to about 3 inches above the bulbs  then & inverted the stemmed ones by putting them upside down in a frame of 15 mm meshed chicken wire 

So we are on mission to consume them before they start to rot  as they won't store for long . Same with nearly  a score of brown onions . Total weight of both types of onions about 16 pounds . 

So Alison has been busy  converting 6 pounds of raw mince beef & pork into cooked mince meat dishes and then vac packing them ready for deep freezing as ready meals . 

 We've still got about 10 pounds of these cut off stemmed onions to go . The rest of the lifted fully ripened crop  has been plaited in strings of 5 or so pounds each. There is still 20 or more pounds of slightly green topped onions that have been lifted and laid out on the chicken wire drying rack .

 We might be making some chutneys tomorrow so will be able to use up a few more pounds of the gone to seed onions . I might also just deep freeze the rest of them in vac packed half pound heat sealed bags  as food processer thin sliced raw onions .

Another nice mess of long beans, with more left for tomorrow.   Lots of small/medium tomatoes for munching.

Ate my first big tomato!  Just salt and pepper.  

FIGS!

Tomatoes!

I'm so jealous! I love figs. 

I thinned my salad greens and rocket today. I'll be putting the micros onto a veggie sandwich. Sadly, all the other veg has had to come from the farmer's market.  

LBB,  I saw bananas growing in NOLA.  You can grow things the rest of us can't.

I would LOVE to have a space for bananas and I know they enjoy our climate here. Now you've got me Googling for dwarf banana trees for the patio! My hubby would probably love that as he goes through a dozen bananas a week.

Cucumber, chard, kale, tomato, green pepper, carrot,  green onion and beet salad ... all from the SFG.
