It is lovely to try new ones, but I grow for flavour. Here are <strong><em>gardeners delight, sungold and chocolate cherry</em></strong>. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/TFrtu-g6FWI/AAAAAAAADyk/uBK9YLkobDQ/s1600/DSC08188.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501971286097270114" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/TFrtu-g6FWI/AAAAAAAADyk/uBK9YLkobDQ/s400/DSC08188.JPG" /></a> it is interesting to have a variety in a bowl together then eat them one after another to compare the texture, sweetness, acid and flavour between varieties. I think the chocolate cherry comes out near the top, surprisingly!<br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/TFrtibgKp3I/AAAAAAAADyc/GUCgMhB5gmw/s1600/DSC08175.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501971070540490610" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/TFrtibgKp3I/AAAAAAAADyc/GUCgMhB5gmw/s400/DSC08175.JPG" /></a> I love the way that <strong><em>Gardeners delight</em></strong> grows. They come down and down like a double string of pearls!<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/TFrtSYd11mI/AAAAAAAADyU/eL5eJsrecvA/s1600/DSC08166.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501970794847524450" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/TFrtSYd11mI/AAAAAAAADyU/eL5eJsrecvA/s400/DSC08166.JPG" /></a> I shelled my <strong>Salmon flowered peas</strong> today. There are plenty left over...so..<br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/TFrtDxUsDVI/AAAAAAAADyM/nVKpXAM7C_Y/s1600/DSC08168.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501970543821983058" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/TFrtDxUsDVI/AAAAAAAADyM/nVKpXAM7C_Y/s400/DSC08168.JPG" /></a> So if you would like to try some of these heritage peas next year, drop me an <strong>email </strong>with your details and I will be happy to share. It is important to keep these old varieties going. I know a couple of people have expressed an interest already but I can't remember who!! just drop me a line again please.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/TFrsyJwhOCI/AAAAAAAADyE/tBFhGHRaqQU/s1600/DSC08176.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501970241143519266" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/TFrsyJwhOCI/AAAAAAAADyE/tBFhGHRaqQU/s400/DSC08176.JPG" /></a> I have an amazing crop of parsley this year. It is just perfect right now. I was debating with myself how I might take advantage of this glut. Shall I chop and freeze?<br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/TFrsgiW6sLI/AAAAAAAADx8/vz7ysCJc3I4/s1600/DSC08178.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501969938509377714" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/TFrsgiW6sLI/AAAAAAAADx8/vz7ysCJc3I4/s400/DSC08178.JPG" /></a> I am thrilled this hairy cucumber <strong>'Bari' </strong>seems to be growing. This is an unusual variety I swapped with <a href="http://www.masdudiable.com/">Mas Du Diable </a>last year. An old family variety passed down from generation to generation by a family in Bari, Italy.<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/TFrsRdEkXpI/AAAAAAAADx0/3HINsI9sdqU/s1600/DSC08181.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501969679392202386" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/TFrsRdEkXpI/AAAAAAAADx0/3HINsI9sdqU/s400/DSC08181.JPG" /></a> Queensland blue squash coming along nicely too.<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/TFrr-Y8OxRI/AAAAAAAADxs/w7N4LXrFxf8/s1600/DSC08184.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501969351865976082" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CAbxtOKD8Tc/TFrr-Y8OxRI/AAAAAAAADxs/w7N4LXrFxf8/s400/DSC08184.JPG" /></a> As is the <strong><em>Tromba D'albegna</em></strong> squash! <div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28615441-4790223452479050876?l=veggies-only.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
