My courgettes are doing really well this summer. So are my purple runner beans but I don't actually like those - the plant is pretty though. I've bought carrots to make carrot and courgette soup - hope I can replicate my mum's version.
Adam and I went to see A Midsummer Nigh's Dream in St John's College gardens. It was very good though a bit shouty as they don't have amps. I slightly precariously carried two picnic chairs down on my bike basket and we didn't actually need them as there were chairs spare. Adam, carried them home over his shoulder while I carried the depleted wine bottle and empty chocolate wrappers in my basket - good lad.
Ah a mum & son outing...that is a lovely thing. Nice to have ones son to ones self sometimes...even more so when they are married! I am saying this on your page note!!!
How lovely to have a night out with your Adam, I took mine to the recycling depot today but kept him! Nice courgettes ours aren't doing too well, rotten at the bottom (:
@countrylassie you're spoiling that boy! 😉 keep going with the courgettes - sounds like blossom end rot (think that's due to erratic watering) - several of ours have done that but then they've picked up again.
Now that sounds like a very civilized evening, lovely! Nice crop too! I've an allotment and yes, purple runners I've seen others grow are very pretty. Try runners with onion and soy sauce, boil as usual, drain then add fried onion and soy (and bacon if want). It's the only way Ed and I can get through the summer crops and they taste so much better '-)
Mmmm, yummm, somehow I did not visualize you having a vegetable garden out there, but I guess any patch of ground with the right amount of light works wonders! These look beautiful, and I bet the soup will be delicious! Have not had much luck with veggies here in our dry climate, and my green beans did not produce much!

Love the tale of your evening with Adam. He is a good lad. ☺
