susiepoos Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 My very own strawberries I've grown them in hanging baskets and they're just turning red now - they're so sweet and taste fabulous - I'm really chuffed with myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Back off holiday so a week's worth of growth load of broad beans, peas, beetroot, courgette, broccoli and some jersey potatoes, salad leaves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Several courgettes I now have to think up new & interesting ways to get them into family meals as everyone else dislikes them apart from me. Can't help growing them though - they are so easy, & give such a big yeild for the plant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Non of my couregettes have really got going this year, I bought 2 more plants yesterday. The only plant that is growing has turned out to be a striped marrow and even that has grown fat at one end and thin at the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen&Rog Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I've got a nice courgette recipe if you like pasta (it's basically one of the dishes at Carluccio's, called the 'Gardiniere'). Just fry up nice thin strips of courgette (I use 1-2 per person) throw in a chopped red chilli and 1-2 crushed cloves of garlic and cook for a few minutes. Then add a handful of parmesan and serve over good quality pasta. Dead easy and tasty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Yum - that sound good. My favourite one, & the only one I can get everyone to eat is 'Courgetty Spaghetti' Fry a pack of diced Pancetta til brown, then add as many small diced courgettes as you can get way with When its all golden,add a blob of pesto, some Parmeasan & serve over spaghetti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did give some to the Girls, but they like them podded and it's a faff. 800g of Tayberries, which I turned into jam 700g of raspberries which I turned into Raspberry Jelly Two yellow courgettes which i am going to dry fry and put in a salad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 I picked two tiny yellow courgettes as well I love courgettes. I cook them in a large frying pan. Slice them thinly, put in the frying pan and just cover with boiling water, simmer gently until all the water is driven off. They should be cooked, add a lump of butter and sizzle gently for a few minutes. Add freshly ground black pepper. Yum! Use as any other vegetable.

Madchook Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Tried to thin my carrots and ended up with 7 good sized ones, mix of red samauri and early nantes which my 2.5y/o has gobbled up when my back was turned! All I got was stung badly by the nettles that have rudely sown themselves in my veg patch while I have been out of action (just had a baby!).
