I have been amazed by just how fast courgettes grow. One day there’s just an inkling of a flower and the next day there’s a full-grown courgette! Within a week, it’ll be a marrow – yikes! So we’ve been cooking with the courgettes that we’ve grown ourselves in our new veggie patch and I wanted to share my new favourite recipe for baked courgettes with you. But first here are some photos of my very first courgette harvest – a proud moment for me haha!
Have you been growing any veg in your garden this year? What are you harvesting at the moment? We have a greenhouse full of tomatoes (I’ll post some photos soon), in fact there are SO many that I don’t really know what we’re going to do with them! Any suggestions for storing or preserving tomatoes would be greatly appreciated! At least I’m feeling much more healthy with all the vegetable-based meals we’ve been enjoying recently and I’ve really enjoyed the freshness of picking something from the garden and it being part of the meal just 30 minutes later. I’ve found it quite amazing because I’ve never really grown anything before, and even as a child I only remember seeing a handful of tomatoes being grown in grow-bags, and I didn’t think it was even possible to grow as much as we have with only a couple of veggie beds and a 6×4 greenhouse! The courgettes and squash are still going strong and after taking the peas/mangetout out, we’ve planted some potatoes and beetroot. I tried sowing carrots from seed but it looks like I’ve missed the sowing season so I don’t know if these will even work – still I’d rather give it a try than wait until year! Let me know if you’ve been growing anything in your garden this summer and please leave me a comment below
