glo, I am glad you are having a great strawberry harvest, praise be to God. I am presently on a trip to North Carolina and splurged on a strawberry shortcake kind of desert with vanilla ice cream. I have had difficulty in growing strawberries, but our figs are doing great, as God has willed.
 
Whilst Mustafa and his family are enjoying their squashes, our courgettes/zucchinis are this size.
(The squashes are still a way behind and are not flowering yet)

I haven't posted in this thread for so long.
Summer was very slow coming here in England, and very wet to boot.
However, although delayed, harvest time is finally here!

Thank you, Barb. :thankyou:
The credit goes to my husband, really. I'm the one who eats the fruit and takes pictures ... ;D

Well, I guess some husbands are good for more than just hogging the TV remote then.:nervous: He does a great job, masha'Allah.

Oh, he manages to hog the TV remote too ... usually whilst sitting in HIS special armchair! ;D
But I don't mind really. When I am knitting I don't really care what's on the TV ...
 
Squashes!!

Your wish is my command.
Here it is - stuffed with couscous, feta cheese, walnuts and red onions (in case you are wondering what the red bits are. They look a bit like bacon, I suppose). Just for you!

looks yummy, apart from the bacon i guess. :)

Is it weird that my favourite veggie is bitter gourd? I liked gonzo in the muppets as a kid, and the bitter gourd is like - gonzo like in appearance.

Stuffed with curried mince meat though, it's faaaan-tashtix :D (pradon the Indian accent)

Oh yes, I'm going India on the 29th of Oct for a month - family land settlements and all. Whoop. I'll take pics of our garden there, we got fruit trees of the most exotic descriptions :) I havent been back in 19 yrs... I was only 18 then :D My trees have all grown up :D

Did I not tell you that it was red onion and NOT bacon?
Either you are not paying attention or you are trying to annoy me. ^o)

Looking forward to the pictures from your garden in India. Please post the here. :)

Did I mention that the apple and plum harvest is very poor in the UK this year? That's because it was too cold and wet for the bees to be out pollinating when the trees were in flower.
I will have to look for apples from Finland in the shops. :)
