I come back to a vegetable glut

July 29, 2008 | easygardener

I’ve been away for five days on a visit to the North of England. Unbelievably the trip coincided with a heatwave - how lucky was that! Naturally when I returned I found the vegetables in the allotment had gone into production overdrive and I’m now knee deep in courgettes, cucumbers, french beans and mange tout peas. The tomatoes and peppers are also ready for picking. I must make some kind of chutney or pickle if I’m to keep on top of things. I swear if courgettes had a face they would be smirking at this very minute. How do they grow so fast? I made a special point of stripping the three plants before I left but still found three mini marrows when I got back.

Fantastic picture! I just shoved my glut in a big bag and dragged it home, never thought to take a picture of it …

Have you tried making and freezing ratatouille? It is lovely to take out of the freezer in winter and get the taste of real summer vegetables.
