Yes, what are the green snake veg? Did you taste them?
I love those huge bamboo baskets - I've got some smaller bamboo "cloches" which are very usefull (I think they are really vietnamese chicken coops), but those giant ones would be perfect to protect the veg from pigeons (and hens!).
I think the green curly beans are a variety of snake bean - we sadly didn't get to try them but they looked wonderful! They guide wasn't sure what they were called in English. There were so many unusual fruit and veg in the market that I have never seen before. It was inspiring and I was longing to buy it all and try to cook with it!
I never thought of the Celia - I wish I had shipped some back for our garden now to keep the peacocks off - mind you they were trying to come in through the catflap yesterday so I have a feeling they would have found a way to tip the baskets over and eat the produce beneath!
Glad you like the pictures Gloria and thanks for the lovely post you put on Steven's website - I am really looking forward to seeing him this evening and we are off to judge a cookery competition tomorrow which will be lots of fun I hope!
Beatiful pictures Hannah!! so beauty, xx Gloria
ReplyDeleteWhat an assortment of goodies! What are those really curly green things? They kind of look like cucumbers, but then again, they don't!
