Garden Goodness...

I've been having very happy garden times and have lots of things to pick and eat, which makes me feel very grateful and like I want to have a harvest festival like we did when we were at school and skip around a maypole (hang on, are maypoles just for may? hmmm)

I have chilli's that are starting to go red!!!  Despite the fact it's been mostly freezing here, I think I have the greenhouse to thank for these!

I have 8 bell pepper plants, and the biggest two are making little fruits!

I've got tomatoes!

I've got courgettes (you can't see them in this picture, because I've picked them :) but I have 2 courgette plants and I've had at least 8 fruits so far this year)

I've got lettuce and spring onions!

I have a peaaaaaaaaaaa!

And I have lots of cabbages and cauliflowers! Yey!

I've had the dehydrator out to store some of this produce for the winter, I've never used dried veg before but I think I can put it in stews and things that need to be cooked for quite a while (or soak them before use, obviously) and I did some windfall apples that next door gave me (they're very sour cooking apples, which I soaked in lemon juice so they're now super sour!)
