Food from the garden...



  

Food from the garden...

Cucumbers - being picked 
as babies to make gherkins...
with the help of some dill and vinegar - YUM!


Cocktail tomatoes, 
indigenous and delicious, 
with the cutest, shy little flowers.

Combined with a little bunching onion, chillies, brown sugar and lemon....is it a jam, a relish, a chutney...?

dunno - but it's YUM!

The chillies range from small and hot 
to long, thin and a little sweet, 
there are also some jelapinos 
and for the first time...peppadew. 



Next are the other peppers - green, red and yellow.
Herbs and edible flowers...

There's Oreganum among the Chillies 
with a bit of lettuce here and there...

...while Nasturtium and Wild Garlic flowers and leaves add a totally unique flavour to any salad or stew.

The Rosemary, Thyme and Sage each grace a food garden, contributing to both cooking and healing.
