Your courgette soup sounds interesting - you'll have to blog the recipe for that!Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04175531371914205163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7166949416950161358.post-19274223849269932592013-06-29T17:27:41.508+01:002013-06-29T17:27:41.508+01:00Anything with pasta and veggies is always cheap an...Anything with pasta and veggies is always cheap and very welcome , as is any kind of soup.It's strange really isn't it, that soup and rolls that have been homemade are a completely different prospect to soup from a tin and a shop-bought roll? So much cheaper, and yet they taste so much better. Soon we'll be having courgette soup, something we haven't had since last summer and I'm really looking forward to it.

My tomato plants are doing badly again ... the new house is not as well arranged for a nice south facing wall, but the green beans are nearly at the top of their wigmams now, another versatile crop, eat them as green pods or pick the rest at the end of the year and dry the beans for later. I even have some 'giant' spring onions - it was an experiment with a patch of left over spring onions from last year to see if they would grow into real onions. Some have, some have tried to go to seed, but I'm still eating the green bits anyway. We had our first half bowl of garden strawberries yesterday and there are a few more today ... I like them just as they are, the OH has them with ice cream. Yummm! Summer!BarnsleyHistorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17706725823398288376noreply@blogger.com
