I continue to work on the allotment and keep Pete well fed and watered (can't have the old boy collapsing when there is so much work to do!). We are just going in to the courgette/patty pan glut, so here is one delicious way that I have found to deal with them.
Courgette Salad
Courgettes or Patty Pans
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lime juice (or lemon)
1 tbsp clear honey
2 tsp mustard seeds or poppy seeds
1 crushed garlic glove
seasoning
Slice the courgettes or patty pans. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Done!
I picked this small posy from the allotment, just to brighten up the boat. I love freesias and they smell so beautiful. They always remind me of when I was a young child and a bridesmaid at my Aunts' weddings. Why is it that the freesias that you get in the supermarket do not smell?
I love the radio too! What a pretty arrangement for the flowers. I would love to have an allotment, but know I wouldn't be able to care for it as I should.
ReplyDeleteThe recipe is yummy too! I shall try it out myself!
ReplyDeleteI miss my squash from the garden this year. But when I have too much I complain too. I just can't be pleased I guess. - Margy
ReplyDeleteVal - the radio was a present from Peter a couple of years ago for one of the big 0 birthdays. I also love it, listening to the Archers on a Sunday morning x
ReplyDeleteMargy - better too much than too little! Next year you will be able to grow some again on your super duper floating garden.
