Weekend Harvest - Sept 2012

Early September last year, I was very busy on the balcony, harvesting a few of my crops and storing them away. Firstly the two varieties of the Chilies we had been growing were ready to pick, the 'Inferno Chilli' which have stayed green for a while and don't seem to want to turn red, were picked and then the red 'Hot Chilies', which are a cute small size.


Also picked were the last of the Peppers (sweet), which have grown a lot better this year and a lot bigger than the previous, they seem to have really enjoyed this year on the balcony.


The two Chilli varieties were washed placed in a bag, labeled and put in the freezer for later use and the Peppers (sweet) were also washed, but put in the fridge instead for instant use, they tasted great in a stir fry later that week.

Best Courgettes Yet 2012

Another unfinished blog I never got around to completing, last year I had a great crop of Courgettes and these were two of the best ones from each variety. Starting with my round variety called 'Tondo di Piacenza', and then my long variety called 'All Green Bush'; they look and tasted gorgeous.

Sadly I have no garden or balcony at the moment, so I will miss growing these this year.
