Veggies

Our home-grown vegetables have definitely reached their end. They were by no means a total success but it was an educational and fun experience for the kids and me. The snails ate the basil and the carrots came up but didn't really grow. The beans stalks, which grew ferociously, eventually yielded some tasty beans. Just when we were about to give up on the tomatoes they started appearing but it was already quite cold by then. Nicholas happily chomped the few that turned red right off the vines. Last week we decided to pick the green ones and made some delicious fried green tomatoes. Oh and I almost forgot about the lettuce that we enjoyed for about a month in the summer. The courgettes were the biggest success - we got a total of 13 in the end - big healthy delicious monsters. We'll definitely do it again next year!
