You say tomato, I say erm...salsa :D

Well, the bananas work! We've had our first handful of ripe tomatoes and turned them into a cheese, tomato and ham sarnie (with other ingredients ofc ;) ) and a salsa. More details on them later...

Here's the bag of beetroot we harvested, this goes straight to my sister as she likes it..and we don't ;)

Jalapeno update. The peppers seem to be going black, it's not an unhealthy black though so we're watching and waiting to see if it's a weird colour variation.

We've planted two more potatoes that had self chitted so we have a chance of fresh spuds for christmas dinner.

We've also planted out some mostly dead purple spouting broccoli that has been sorely neglected and left in the greenhouse. But as the quote goes, "There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead"

Okay, so first ripe tomato

Om Nom Nom

The harvest whitecurrants were going to be made into a jelly, however I got distracted by a large mug of tea and before I knew it the sugar had caramelised and made a strange kind of whitecurrant toffee. I actually really like it, and there's not a lot left ;)










Salsa :D

Ingredients

5 x banana ripened tomatoes
1 x red onion grown from seed
3 x chillies grown from self harvested seed. (2 red, 1 green, all seeds included)
a dash of red wine vinegar
a glug of olive oil
a pinch of mustard powder

The end result looks quite nauseating but tastes fantastic. It's quite hot, but very tasty. Will work well with some tortilla chips tomorrow for lunch.
