August 2009

Slovenia

In July and August, it is time for a longed-for holiday.
During the two months, we will collect products and take care of the plants.
Nothing done so far, will be wasted because all our effort was not in vain.

Dry and hot August ripened and sweetened all the crops.

 The sunflowers offer food to hungry birds, the beans continue blooming, and the pumpkins boast with a wonderful variety of edible and decorative sorts.

All colours can be seen on the allotment: hot red, bright orange, shiny yellow, innocent white and soothing green.

Onions are indispensable in the bean salad with pumpkin oil. Yummy!
