What a nice way to 'celebrate' midsummer.

'tis a good thing I went down all the photos before commenting. I was muttering something about how some folks gave up on their garden when I saw a nice patch of onions, one (!) cucumber plant (?) and one whatever. And now you are off gallivanting to the south!! Happy birthday to grandma, by the way.

SD, thank you. Once I was blind, but now I see (in the words of that famous hymn). Sag aloo, eh? That does it: I am off to our wonderful Indian restaurant, India Palace, for lunch. # About fiddling: don't be so modest. # Have a safe trip

SD,we must make excuses for mjc, as courgettes are no doubt know as "zuchinni" in the states(++they are from the same family as cucumbers,melons etc)--j=hope you get a good crop-this year i've only planted tomatoes(what else?)peppers and aubergines(egg plant) and they are all coming along well--at last

Courgettes, eh? French, I suppose. Zucchini is Italian, I suspect. Folks, we are Americans over here, and we eat squash (green, yellow and such: we know our colors). What next, mon Dieu: are we expected to call America, l'Amerique?!!

Good luck with the veg, Carol. Nothing like eating stuff you've grown yourself! Hope you enjoyed your curry, mjc.

MJC: i stand corrected-a friend frm new york calles courgettes "zucchini' soo--
carol from over here-
I can't help your friend from New York if he is fresh off the boat from Palermo. Zucchini indeed! (PS. Carol, that's what we call it here). Kidding folks, kidding. I like Italy and the Italians. And I would like the Pope, even if he were Italian. No Guido, you can't have my address.

I say courgette, you say zucchini.....Let's call the whole thing off......

Life in Stromness, writing stuff, staring out of the window, history, growing veg at the allotment.
