We had our first BBQ of the year on June 1st, and have probably just had out last for this year this evening. We have had a really lovely warm sunny day today, so on the spur of the moment we thought we would have a BBQ for supper tonight.
I was sitting waiting for the sun to go down to catch the sunset - but my stomach called so have missed it at its best!
We have had a good crop of veg from the garden this year - lots of courgettes, french beans, broad beans etc. However, I think I planted my tomato seeds a little late - as although they have grown well and lots of tomatoes have formed they are still looking rather green. I'm hoping the recent warm spell will just push them into ripening - or else I will be making lots of green tomato chutney this year!
I tried two varieties - a small plum shaped one ( I can't remember the name of it) and also tried to grow the big beef type tomatoes that we love to eat in France. I think I bought these seeds from the Eden Project when I visited, and have grown them in the greenhouse where they have actually done very well....
.... we just need a little more sunshine so they will ripen.
