Playing, An Onion and Muffins

03 Jul

It was a delight at the allotment this morning to find these two chatting and playing with water while their Mum (who gave permission for this photo to be used) was tending to their plot.

We harvested some more courgettes/zucchini  from the lottie and this afternoon I made some delicious Courgette, Feta and Mozzarella Muffins using our last onion from last season.

The Muffins turned out well!

For any eagle eyed readers who know my recipes, this is a variation that I can write up if anyone would like it.

Poppy, Flower Salad and A Gift

01 Aug

1    Poppies have self-seeded throughout our vegetable garden and are quite glorious amongst the green.

2   The mixed red and green lettuces  are this year untouched by slugs (so far!) and make a delicious salad along with some peppery nasturtiums and delicate white borage flowers.

3    Our neighbours have a glut of courgettes (as opposed to our pathetic specimens which are rotting on the stems) and  a gift of gorgeous shiny green courgettes was brought round this afternoon. Just one became our supper, stuffed with rice, herbs, tomatoes and peas covered with cheese then with roasted pumpkin seeds, pine nuts, sesame seeds and slivers of almonds and served with the colourful salad – delicious. Thanks to Jim and  djdfr for the recipe idea)

White Agapanthus, Courgettes and Hydrangea Seemannii

21 Jul

1     We have just two beautiful white Agapanthus flowers. They are being battered by the wind so I hope they survive.

2   Today we picked our first two courgettes (zucchini for readers from the US and maybe elsewhere too). I wish you could have smelt them cooking in a little butter with lemon rind – so delicious.

3   The sustained sunshine has encouraged the tight flower buds of the Hydrangea Seemannii to open. They are very delicate and pretty.
