The last of the tomatoes and the first of the soy beans

16/3/2015

 
The time came to cut down our tomato forest, which was sad because it required us to admit that summer is over and winter is coming.  Tash made green tomato chutney form the unripened fruit, which was absolutely delicious.
In one of the new clearings, we spread out compost and planted broad beans to replenish the soil nitrogen after the nitrogen-hungry tomato crop.

Action in the composting area - chopping up tomato and nasturtium stems and harvesting finished compost.
We also harvested our first soy beans! They look so cute and fluffy growing on the bush, and taste even better than they look once turned into edamame.  Simply boil for 4 minutes in salty water, plunge into cold water, pat dry then season with extra salt.
