[lisaparkin]

Hello all, I have been reading posts on this site for a few weeks, very, very interesting forum!! 
I thought I had better register and join in. 
This is our 1st year 'with allotment' and things are growing very well, alot better than I thought they would. 
I was very interested in the recipes and have tried a few...Cougette cake, Cheesy marrow.....yummy yummy.
I'll look forward to getting some advice, gardening tips, sharing photos and trying more new recipes  :D

Welcome lisaparkin to A4A.  Great to hear you are being successful.  I got my lottie last year and have been amazed at how much I have managed to grow.

My space was limited before and had less sunlight so I really enjoyed seeing just how many things I can grow.

If you like cheesy marrow, have you tried cougettes lightly fried and then put in a pan covered with tomato and cheese and then grilled.  I like it plain but you can also add garlic, onions and herbs.  Delicious.
