we've got our first yellow courgette today. (having it roasted with some other veg) I've not grown courgettes for years as the slugs always ate the plants before they could do anything! _________________ Aqui, T and Baby Jack!
Oh wow, you must have a greenhouse or poly tunnel. Wish I lived near you. Will you dry some? They look gorgeous - and well done with the onions.
I harvested another almost 7 pounds of Cherokee Trail of Tears climbing beans - grown without any rain for weeks and weeks - no water whatsoever! I spent the whole morning processing them, and they are now in the freezer. Got two bags of mixed courgettes to make in to ratatouille tomorrow for freezing for the winter.
It is hard work this time of the year, and often tedious, but I really do appreciate it in the winter, just popping out to the garage freezer for lovely foods! _________________ Lottie the Allotment Lady
Wow, Aggy those peppers look fabulous, please give me some tips on how to grow them like that.
Trail of tears french beans still going strong, the first of the gem squash are ready, recommend these highly, they are currently growing up where I had the peas and are only small about 4 inches wide and are soooooooo delicious _________________ "If we reduce the amount of stuff we allow to accumulate in our lives, we won't have to organise it"

Those look great Aggie, love that onion photo with the wellie!
Hmmmmmmmmm......Karl's cut off's...he wears them all the time like Compo!!!!!
I wish you lived near me too lottie.....you would be very welcome to some!!!!.....and some of the aubergines that are still coming thick and fast
The polytunnel was a fantastic buy.....I could'nt recommend them enough. We had caulis about 2 months before the outdoor ones were ready and are hoping that we are able to grow lots during the winter months too.
Th etrick with growing chillis and peppers is to plant them in poor soil with the occassional feed. They really do fruit their little socks off.
