By chance I found Charlotte Mendelson’s book Rhapsody in Green; a novelist, an obsession, a laughably small excuse for a vegetable garden. Thank you Country Living UK Nov 2018. The book starts in late winter. I read it in early winter, in the dark, cold, rainy days of November. The perfect book for this time of the year! A real feel-good book.
Throughout the book I was laughing at myself. I found myself on many of those pages. The seed bags I find when looking for something completely different, the nasturtium seeds I planned to pickle as an experiment, the plans on what to do with the huge harvest of a) runner beans (didn’t even grow), b) gherkins (one; tasty and crunchy, but just the one), c) courgettes (three, four per year) d) tomatoes (five to about 50, depending on whether I grew the plant from seed or bought it), e) etc; both at the cottage and on my balcony. Collecting jars, looking for recipes. And going to the supermarket for the goods.
