The soil in our Parterre garden must be so full of goodness. Once seedlings are planted, and watered regularly (thank fully by an automatic watering system) I just sit back and watch it produce an assortment of things all very large in size and quantity. At the moment we have an endless supply of cucumbers......which taste amazing...nothing like the watery ones from the supermarket. 3 different varietes of Lettuce, Pak Choy and most recently Zucchini.
I love finding recipes to suit what our garden is producing.....Zucchini fritters with smoke salmon, fresh garden salad drizzled with natural yogurt infused with lemon and cumin are my favorite at the moment and for so many reason. Apart from the salmon and yoghurt everything is organic and homegrown. Dinner is ready in 10min and the girls LOVE them.
Corn will soon be introduced to meal times I have 8 plants in ground which are almost as tall as me and with plenty of husks forming. As I am a novice in the vegie patch I was shocked and surprised when I was told that they could produce up to 10 corn cobs per plant...that's 80 cobs of corn coming our way!

The zucchini fritters sounds lovely, you'll be able to do the corn version one of my favourites is Bill Graingers.
Your vegie garden is looking amazingly productive (far more than mine - it's been a bad season on the Monaro) and I love the sound of the 10 minute dinner. No one likes to slave over a hot stove in the weather we've been having. Love your blog - started following after reading about you in Country Style. Your quilts are stunningly beautiful.
It all looks lovely. My corn produced about two, maybe three cobs per plant this season. They were all good-sized cobs and we ate them at quite a few meals - including Christmas dinner.
Looks fantastic! I'm a novice gardener too and get ridiculously excited by every new vegetable that emerges - so satisfying. Enjoy all that freshness... sounds like just what is needed for both pre and post baby bodies!
80 cobs! You could make a lot of salsa! (Love me some mexican.) Your zucchini fritter meal sounds DELICIOUS. Hope you're feeling well. Kellie xx
I'm drooling at the thought of zucchini fritters with smoked salmon! How satisfying to have your own little patch like that. Heaven x
wonderwoman!!
I could use some soil here as my green thumb is a little lack lustre this season. Your fritter dish has me drooly! X ashley
