First corn

 This is why I love Grosse Lisse...

big and meaty without many seeds.

Tomato, bocconcini, basil, 

with salt and pepper and a drizzle of good olive oil.

Freshly dug potatoes, eggs from the girls, chives and a bit of mayo.

 

Simply fresh picked beans, crumbled feta and a little more olive oil.

Apart from the cheeses, salt and pepper and olive oil...

ALL HOME GROWN... 

now that is what I call a feast.

A first on the first

I picked the first tomatoes yesterday.

They are were both from Grosse Lisse grafted plants.  

Like all proud parents with a first-born,

I went a little crazy with the camera.

Mind you, my love for these two babies

didn't stop me from gobbling them down

in a sandwich!

Fat Fruit Friday# 12 - Colour!

You would expect to see green in a GREEN-house...this photo is taken from the outside.  

That's a watermelon vine plotting an escape...

...and the green leaves of the cantaloupe which is threatening a take-over.

But there are other colours too.

Like the mauve of the eggplant/aubergine flower...

... the yellow of the ripening Broad Ripple tomatoes.

 The Black Pearl Chilli is living up to its name.

 ...and the excitement of orange on a ripening Grosse Lisse tomato.  

The first for the season.

Best of all...RED!  (This one has already been eaten...sweet!)

But not to worry, the white and green in these photos 

give promise of more to come.
