The beginnings of our roast dinner
Thursday, August 28th, 2008
As we were having some friends over, i decided to cook a roast dinner using as much as i could from the garden. The only thing we didn’t have was potatoes, as we’ve eaten our entire harvest! In the pic is squash, savoy cabbage, a load of spinach and ruby red chard, carrots, onions (red and white), beans, courgettes, sweet peppers and tomatoes.
We had a little turkey with it, but it was hardly spottable in the sea of veg!
The Uchiki Kuri squash hasn’t been as productive as i had hoped in the end, the two plants have only produced four biggish fruits so far, and have taken up quite a lot of space to do so. The courgettes have been so much more productive. I think next year (yep, i’m thinking about it already!) i’ll plant 4 squash plants, so they can just intertwine and grow over the whole space.
The ones we’ve had though have tasted absolutely amazing, a very unique taste, whether roasted or fried.
