Last year we paid a local guy to water our greenhouse/garden veggies whilst we were away. It cost so much we decided it would be cheaper to buy the produce from Harrods!<br /><br />But we do have lots of apples/pears and damsons which are doing beautifully this year and will keep me busy freezing and preservingSue Clinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15582183867336673426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-77243886889593502482013-09-02T07:51:14.940-04:002013-09-02T07:51:14.940-04:00Me too, even these days it brings a tear to my eye...Me too, even these days it brings a tear to my eyes.<br /><br />I think Japanese is a type not a source Sue.

We make a point of buying food locally as much as possible. Interesting recipe though, prettier than the usual ratatouille I make when we have a glut of courgettes, aubergines, peppers and tomatoes in the garden.<br /><br />Sue Clinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15582183867336673426noreply@blogger.com
