Love those blossoms



Although Mark had managed to plant our vege garden in early May - we were still surprised to see on our return from France that the zucchini plants were already blossoming. Enough blooms to make an appetiser of - stuffed with goat cheese and basil, supplemented with sage leaves and my first go at dipping asparagus in the light batter and shallow frying. Sea salt and a squeeze of lemon completed the dish. Eaten on our porch and accompanied by a glass or two of 1999 Mayacamas Chardonnay from the Napa Valley, we were in heaven.

Hi N & M, great to read your blog, Debbie's obviously not the only one who obsessed about good food. Amazing that your zuccs came up so quickly. Look forward to the day when we can come to your farm. Cheers, Graham

Hi G&D
You are welcome any time! This time of year - June to August is particularly good food wise - but make sure I am here before you drop in
