Careful what you wish for...

It's been a funny summer in our vegetable patch. It feels to me like it's not been a hugely successful season (er, that'd be down to the crazy 'freezing one day, boiling the next' weather) and yet when I look out the window I can see cherry tomatoes ripening in their hundreds, whoppin' cucumbers and the remains of a bumper crop of coriander (what a delight that was - notoriously fussy stuff to grow).

I guess the reason for my disappointment is because last summer we had Zucchinis Galore. Oh yeah. Zucchinis in quiches, zucchinis on the BBQ, zucchini bakes, zucchini cakes and, oh, anyone for more zucchini?...

This year we got healthy looking plants ... with pathetically small zucchinis on them. We're talking 20cm max. And so we wondered if a dose of Seasol - super-nutritious seaweed solution - may help matters...



Er, yeah. Did it what. Suddenly I am happy with our harvest. And wondering what on earth to do with the glut...
