Harvesting veg this morning

Kay and I went to the outrageously lovely East London community vegetable garden What Will The Harvest Be? to harvest some veg for a hamper for the Fat of the Land Raffle. We picked celeriac, celery, carrots, some spuds, amazing kale, chard and squash, some herbs and greens, beetroot too. Yummmmmmm and thanks to Chris at the project and everyone who's been growing things there over the summer.

Vegetable monsters

What Will the Harvest Be? is a beautiful community garden in E15. They've been growing a mass of vegetables all summer and on Saturday they held a Harvest Festival which involved harvesting, cooking and eating some of what they'd grown. Lovely!

There was also an impressive selection of vegetable monsters on display. Watch and learn, Harvest folk. Details of how to enter your own vegetable monsters to our competition will be posted shortly.

More treats from the garden

Stewed damsons fresh from Kay's tree. Scrummy with custard, yogurt, cake, porridge, spaghetti, quinoa, baked beans, your girlfriend, and on anything that moves.

Are you a grower? Wanna share pics of your produce? I know this sounds like a double entendre, but I don't care.

Growing things, beautiful fat queer fruit!

Look what the tree gave me this morning! I'm still holding out for the pears on my pear tree, my first ever crop. Aren't they beautiful? What shall I do with them?

Do you grow things in your garden or allotment? Would you be interested in bringing them to show at The Fat of the Land: A Queer Chub Harvest Festival? Drop us a line if so.
