I often roast them and freeze them, or make soup and freeze it. I've also made courgette and ginger jam which is quite nice (sweet, not chutney like) and courgette cake. Having a fussy eater in the house, they're also good in 'hidden veg' type pasta sauces because they're so bland tasting.Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05534626082405777284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295421286576646745.post-22005506154206095262011-07-07T21:03:48.471+01:002011-07-07T21:03:48.471+01:00I was confused by "cabbage looking", too...I was confused by "cabbage looking", too!

Unlike you, I did not grow them myself, but the next best thing - organic farm over the hedge. <br /><br />If you have any good recipes, do share as I am at a bit of a loss what to do with them.<br /><br />Oh, and I had no idea what the cabbage comment meant. Thankfully, Adam translated and I now know more than I did this morning.mmelindorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09232919520075687703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295421286576646745.post-14657955332821751482011-07-07T16:34:39.656+01:002011-07-07T16:34:39.656+01:00Rose - I used to just have my tiny back yard too, ...Rose - I used to just have my tiny back yard too, got my 1st allotment March 2010, 2nd allotment October 2010, it takes a bit of getting used to!<br /><br />Thanks for the idea Choco, I'll try that.Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05534626082405777284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295421286576646745.post-9648297647033170582011-07-07T16:16:17.639+01:002011-07-07T16:16:17.639+01:00I grew Summer Squash a few years ago.

I only have my small back and front gardens but manage to grow runner beans, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, soft fruit and herbs along with plenty of border flowers. I'd quite like to share an allotment as I don't think I'd have the time to cope with a full one. You amaze me that you have two!<br />Happy Gardening :o)<br />Rose HRose H (UK)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03502158211136467582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295421286576646745.post-65854079914088316792011-07-07T13:52:46.957+01:002011-07-07T13:52:46.957+01:00It's just you darling.It's just you darling.Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05534626082405777284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295421286576646745.post-53298457834509143422011-07-07T13:48:25.767+01:002011-07-07T13:48:25.767+01:00Is it just me who was totally confused by the &quo...Is it just me who was totally confused by the "I may not be cabbage looking" phrase? For anyone else as uneducated as I am, apparently "I'm not as green as I'm cabbage looking" is a "well known" Yorkshire saying. Northerners, eh? Tsch.Adamnoreply@blogger.com
