Peppers

I've been enjoying local organic produce the last few weeks. I love these real-looking peppers - nothing like the uniform bland ones you get in supermarkets.
I had these roasted and skinned with new potatoes yesterday.

The redcurrants came in my organic produce box and I cooked them with a little maple syrup and a good scrape of vanilla seeds and served them with natural yoghurt.
I have a load of cooked apples and some rhubarb (both from friends' gardens) in the freezer, again all cooked with vanilla - current obsession!

My own produce-growing is rather limited - I have the world's tiniest garden, a window box! I've only had it a few months, and stocked it up with two tiny tomato plants I bought for a few pence in a car boot sale in May. They have flourished and are spreading all down the front of the house (I'm on the top floor!) and I have to lean out a long way to pick them!
This picture is of them a few weeks ago. They are now climbing in the windows. But wow! they are delicious and sweet.
