Zuccini

There are growing a lot of different kind of zuccini's at the moment.

This one I will simmer and with some eggs together in a pan will make a delicious omelette!

Strawberries

We have had so many strawberries that after we ate a lot, we have pots of jams and a lot in the freezer as well. Also made strawberry mousse and have frozen that.

A Christmas diner with your own berries will be great!

Blooming oregano

The leaves of the oregano are so tasty and full of oil. The blossom is beautiful, in colour as well.

I gonna dry them!

Harvest

After a very cold first half year finally some harvest is there.

At the moment: lettuce, rucola, carrots, beans, haricot verts, zuccini's, tomatoes, cherrytomatoes, lots of herbs and edible flowers.

What an abundance of goodies!

Sweet fruit!

This is the catch of the day! So many delicious strawberries!

Roses

First rose as well!

First strawberries/zomerkoninkjes

A hopeful start. Lots of plants full of strawberries!

This morning on my path to the veggiegarden

End of May 2011

Thanksgiving

There is still a lot to harvest. Look at this! No turkey for me with thanksgiving.
I will make a stew of all the zuccinni's and squash, carrots and herbs and we will see what happens! Happy Thanksgiving!

Apple Queen

And this was the Apple Queen of this year. A very humoristic start of the day!

295 varietes of apples

On our Salt Spring Island there are 295 varieties of apples growing.
The Apple festival theme this year was: Kids and Apples
The pie ladies sold there delicious apple-pies made from all kind of apples.
My choice this year was: Gravenstein-walnut-raisin pie. Very good!

Apple Festival 2010

We visited Bright Farm with 280 varietes of apples. This overloaded appletree was one of them.

Flowerarrangement from our garden

On this beautiful sunny day (birthday of my mother (86)) these flowers found their way to Roberts workplace!

Zuccinisoup

The zuccinisoup I make from these guys is so heartwarming!

In oliveoil bake a leek with pieces of the zuccini's.
Make vegetarian bouillon en put everything in it. Boil a little while and put everything in the blender or magimix.
Serve with some nutmeg and sour cream.
Bon appetit!

Sun in the rain

On a rainy day this lifts me up!
