The garden delivers!
Posted: Monday 25 June, 2007
Hip hooray! This weekend, we've had new potatoes, peas, broad beans, gooseberries and raspberries from the garden. Oh, it was lovely.
The goosebarries have gone mad - we've NEVER had a crop like this before. We did manure the bed this year, so that's probably what it was but it's a bumper crop and huge berries, to boot. Lorna and I finished the gooseberry crumble tonight for tea.
We had fresh raspberries on our Bran Flakes this morning, too. What luxury!
We've got wee, tiny courgettes and the tomatoes are starting to fruit - so small I needed Claire to point them out to me!! Dan got the squashes and pumpkins out yesterday, into the three sisters bed (in the rain). It's sunny today but blowing a gale and it's not very warm. Still, it keeps the midges away!

thankyou very much for the marvellous gooseberrys: this is my recipe: simmer till squishy, cool, stir in one tin condensed milk, one pot double cream. eat the lot, sit back and wait for arterys to harden.
