Today's courgettes

[No vice]

Will we be having some challenge or modification for 2010?
Simply challenging the number or increasing the variety?

[Boy Wonder]

Before this fades into oblivion, I'd just like to report that various of us were treated to a courgette supper on Saturday night, thanks to Molehill and the Missus, and they (the courgettes, that is) were extremely tasty!

So.. roll on next years crop!


Now... what am I going to do with myself for the next six months...

Now that the courgette season is over, Molehill can be consoled by this story

I find that rather disconcerting! Tortoise theft

We read about that in the paper, strange what people will do for money . That's some collection of tortoises though .

Our 3 big ones are in a box in the kitchen slowly cooling down, their little toesies are withdrawing into their shells as they start the hibernating process.

Beastly Boris is under the woodburner being beastly.

Root vegetables are the way forward, anything growing in the air is shit; courgettes, tomatoes, aubergines, pumpkins all suck. Give me a warming hearty winter vegetable soup any day; carrotts, swedes, potatoes, leeks, onions all rock.

Are leeks a root veg?.....

and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like a soup with all rocks

I thought so, you don't eat the leaves just the white bit that's underground. I'm going to have to wiki that one to be sure.

It doesn't say so i'm not sure now
