Here’s to all the fantastic community garden projects out there- you’re doing a great thing!

We’ve had a busy few weeks at Long lane HQ, but have enjoyed some lovely produce as well! It turns out that purple carrots are delicious but very tricky to photograph (and show their true loveliness) So here are some of our first ever purple carrots 😊 They are so good roasted, in soups, in pasta sauce or just simply as they are

Not the most exciting photo, but a pretty delicious lunchtime snack pulled straight from the plot 😋
