Fruits of labour?

After my last blog, I went out and started hacking at the triffid-like growth .... then did some picking ....

here's the bowl full and then here's the courgettes with the 'snail' damage

 and finally, the fabled achocha!

They look lovely, but have been a HUGE disappointment in the culinary sense.
Growing like a triffid all across the back of the garden, producing fruit in enormous number and ending up as a huge big fat zumper.

Today, overcast, raining, spitting and dribbling.  So, made an Apple cake with 'cookers' from the garden and a cinnamon streusel topping.  It tastes delicious, and when we eat it with some whipped cream later .... it will be magnificent!

 

Over and out!
