This week's produce from the allotment

This week's produce from the allotment, originally uploaded by CharlesFred.

We just had a dinner of courgette spaghetti, the first courgettes from the garden. We are going to have to get used to eating courgettes as we have about five plants, thinking that two of them may be pumpkins, but they ahve grown up into being courgettes after all. The spaghetti was delicious, but whether that was more to do with the accompanying onion, garlic, pine nuts and parmesan cheese or the courgettes, I am not sure.

The blackberries are just getting ripe, about six weeks earlier than they used to come out in the old days of the 1970's (or maybe it is just the variety). We are going on holiday for two weeks, so we will probably miss the best of the blackberries, back in time for the courgettes no doubt.
