Fresh Veges from Cape Town
December 26th, 2008I have got very green neighbours across the road. They have an amazing ability to plant almost anything, and it grows wonderfully in their garden, which means that they are often eating wonderfully fresh, organic and tasty vegetables.
From time to time, some of these veges make their way across the road to our house. So, we were very pleasantly surprised when on Christmas Eve, Eric knocked on the door with a basked full of fresh produce from their garden.
Basket of fresh Vegetables
Cape Gooseberries, green beans and radishes
Fresh Fennel
Cape Gooseberries – these ended up on the dessert
Radishes – they lasted about 5 minutes
And finally, fresh strawberries. Nothing like the strawberries from the store.
What I love about their fresh veges is how tasty they are – they are so full of flavour. I used to grow fresh vegetables, but it was so much work that I eventually gave it up. I have no idea how Anya finds the time, but I hope she keeps it up!
Thanks guys; keep them coming!
