First of the Season
This year we will have a different story. We have water – a new pipe installed and the weather has been great for growing. All the growing beds are now on new/repaired irrigation systems with timers and apart from the weeding and tying plants, staking them and other things its all done!!
So this morning I harvested the first vegetable of the season
A courgette – or Calabacin – has been picked and will become soup.
What we have growing:-
Okra ( ladies fingers – which are great in curries if ready). It’s the same word in Spanish
Cebolla blanca – white onions
Cebolla tinto – red onion
Puerros – leeks
Tomate – guess!
Remolacha – beetroot
Berenjena – Aubergines. There is a starter dish in Spain where slices are deep fried in batter and served with Maple syrup ( too sweet for me but have to try)
Pepino – Peppers. There are many varieties and colours. Big small and hot or not
Zanahoria – carrots
Calabaza – Butternut squash
Judia – Beans
Guisantes – peas
Brocoli – 2nd guess
So it looks like a bumper crop could be on its way. I enjoy the growing and watching what nature can do – and how quickly it can happen.
