Apples from the 2 allotment trees, runner beans enorma have come into their own again, sweetcorn, a late direct sowing of a few left over seed, 12, yes 12 cucumbers from one vine, and there must be 2 dozen babies there and 3 courgettes.

Muddy carrots!  A late sowing, so no protection, and no fly damage!!

Have had a recipe idea suggested by an American chum to use some of the cucumbers.....slice lengthways, coat in flour, then deep fry.  She reakons they are delish!  I shall try as I have plenty.  Am also going to have a go at soup....I think....altho cold soup has never appealed.  I just don't know what to do with them.  Even the neighbours don't want them!!!!

Deep fried cucumber ... oooh, well nothing to lose !

ooh i'm loving the look of the tomatoes! i can just imagine cooking them all together in some sort of soup. or maybe making mixed sundried tomatoes out of....or slow roasting them with beef or something.
