Tomatoes, Sweet Peppers & Courgette plants available Spring to early Summer
Tomato plants are in my top 3 favourite vegetable plants to grow alongside the chillies and sweet peppers. I grow many different varieties from cherry through to beefstake. The varieties I choose all have great flavour and good disease resistance. Plants are available to purchase from mid Spring through to Summer.
Sweet Peppers
Many people only use sweet peppers in a summer salad or stir fry,
but have you tried them roasted and made into a soup -
the sweetness and flavour is amazing.
Courgettes
My favourite Summer recipe:
Slice fresh courgettes, tomatoes, sweet pepper, onion and garlic place in a roasting dish, drizzle with olive oil and fresh oregano,
roast in the oven for 45 minutes.
Serve hot with fresh bread.

Apple Orange & Cider Jelly
This is something special.

Lovely even if I say so myself !

Our neighbours chicken !
Just had to add this picture, no reason just to finish the page.
Isn't he pretty, our neighbour's chicken seem to spend quite a bit of time in our garden, but we don't mind.
