Veggie supreme

We've had really good fun with our garden veggie patch this year and this afternoon I helped Mum harvest some of the veg that is still around.

I pulled up leeks and picked our two varieties of runner beans and cucumber. The cucumber plant is really funny - it has grown so much that it has wound itself up the runner beans!

I also watered the garden while Mum found renewed life in the courgette plant and picked some of our chillies. I also got to taste one of our baby red onions ... they were meant to be normal size but didn't grow properly - despite being weeny they were really tasty.

Dad made pizza for lunch and we put some of our garden veg on top - sweetcorn and mint. Mum and Dad fancied some of our spinach too but Zill wasn't sure so it stayed off!

The pizza dough was particularly yummy and Dad said it would be very nice for quiche too. The ingredients were: self raising flour; semolina; butter; brown sugar and water.

Popcorn for dinner while we watched Merlin and Strictly Come Dancing. I like Rachel Stevens best.
