I have been slightly inspired by your tin bath. I have continued to grow salad leaf and a couple of herbs in pots in our small yard, but would love to have had fresh peas here; if we are up here next year, or settled anywhere for a reasonable amount of time, I will certainly consider growing peas. I have also grown radish in the past and have missed not having them this year. I was seriously considering tomatoes but was not sure they would have ripened enough by the time we come to leave here. Hope you have a lovely weekend.

I have more blackcurrants than I know what to do with, and a mountain of green beans. Am practicing some deep breathing. And designing a notice for the front door, "NOBODY LEAVES WITHOUT A COURGETTE". Hope you enjoy the rest of your week.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311693185700341580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-45400229384703026742013-08-06T18:12:34.175+01:002013-08-06T18:12:34.175+01:00I'm sure you know that in the US we call courg...I'm sure you know that in the US we call courgettes, zucchini? I just thought of something since I dabble in studying Italian. Zucca is pumpkin or squash so zucc ini must mean little squashes.

No matter what we do they keep on getting back in the nest box. We have had to start sort of rationing eggs, too.<br />Sadly, we do NOT have the beautiful bounty of vege that you have! So far, we have picked ONE zucchini. Hubby remembers the days, in a different climate, when he would sneak bags and bags of zucchini onto the seats of his friends' cars just to get rid of them. They then started locking the car doors. Climate is everything.<br />We just have to buy vege often. We are eating more and more of them these days. The other evening I counted 9 different vege in our stir fry for dinner. It was delicious.<br />We also had a bit of homegrown chicken. At least we can supply our own meat. Do you also raise chickens for meat?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-73750334510319276382013-08-06T14:49:24.137+01:002013-08-06T14:49:24.137+01:00** blushes ** Thank You
