Our Delightful Fig Harvest

Fig harvest 

Figs..... who doesn't love a fig?  When I lived in Australia, figs were pretty expensive and difficult to come by.  So its a pleasant surprise to discover an 'ancient' old fig tree in our backyard, and what's even better, it has edible fruit on it.

Griddled Courgette Salad from the Garden

Our courgette (zucchini) plant is producing lots of young courgettes at the moment.  I harvest them quite small (approximately 10 - 12cm).  Courgettes are so versatile, picked young and small, they are crunchy and can be eaten raw.  When griddled, they turn sticky and sweet and are delicious.
