In season now in Maggie's garden Summer is such an abundant time in the garden. Here are three of my seasonal favourites at the moment. Figs- I am bringing them into the Farm Shop and The Eatery every second day at the moment. It has been a difficult season for them for sure but as long as I can beat the birds to them there are so many ways to use them. Tomatoes- Given our tremendous heat they've been slow to ripen this year; the heat just make the plants shut down but seeing the beautiful as yet green tomatoes makes me know it will all be worthwhile. Sorrel- This is my wonder plant; I keep cutting it back every few weeks and it never fails; it just grows faster than I can use it.....that lovely sour citrussy flavour as young leaves in salad or best of all a family favourite Sorrel Tart.
