In the garden...



Perhaps we'll have a home grown cucumber. It looks promising. 

This year our self-seeded tomatoes (thanks to the worm castings we dug in) are truss tomatoes.  A friend came over and insisted on giving the bush a big prune (doing away with superfluous branches) so that the plant concentrates on its fruit.

During summer my favourite dish takes about 3 minutes to prepare. I like to duck out to the garden and collect a bunch of, mostly green, ingredients- spinach, rocquette, basil, parsley, fresh mint and tomatoes- cut them up and put them in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil. The mint, I believe, is the winner in this salad. It adds freshness and a touch of summer!
