We harvested our first Lebanese zucchini for this summer. This is our first time growing 'Lebanese zucchini', so I was not sure what size is perfect to harvest this variety. Did not want it to get too mature or it will stop other fruits to develop. A few leeks and another one kohlrabi harvested this week.
Our Lebanese brinjal plant that has now experience 3 summers did not disappoint us. We just enter summer and that old brinjal plant has given us roughly 10 eggplants for us. We had endless supply of yellow currant cherry tomatoes last week.
What did we do with the cherry tomatoes?
The second recipe that I enjoyed from this recipe book.
Spicy Sardine and Spaghetti Bake (The Australian Women's Weekly~Gratins & Bake recipe book)
250g spaghetti
1 cup (70g) stale breadcrumbs
1/3 finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (used curly ones)
1/3 cup (80ml) olive oil
318g canned sardines in oil, drained
250g cherry tomatoes, chopped coarsely (did not chopped)
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
(1) Cook pasta in large saucepan of boiling water until tender; drain and reserved 1/3 cup (80ml) cooking liquid.
(2) Preheat oven to 220 degree Celsius.
(3) Combine breadcrumbs, parsley and 1 tablespoon of the oil in medium bowl.
(4) Heat remaining oil in same pan; cook sardines, tomato, garlic and chilli, stirring, until tomato begins to soften. Stir in pasta; season to taste.
(5) Spoon mixture into 1litre (8cup) ovenproof dish; pour reserved cooking liquid. Sprinkle with breadcrumb mixture. Bake, uncovered, about 10 minutes or until browned lightly.
Sardines and this yellow cherry tomatoes goes well together.
Rayyan enjoying the pasta.
One funny-looking purple savoy cabbage was harvested.
Two of our 3.5 months grown Royal Blue potato plant were all dried up due to the hot weather. It was a trial to plant potato on our most sunny patch at the end of winter. It grows really fast but the soil is too hot now. Touching the soil on that area is very hot during mid-day. I won't be able to walk on it barefoot. So I have to reluctantly dig the spud out early cause it was supposed to be medium-late variety. There still supposingly in their baby stage. The trial is half-successful since there were at least 12 medium~large size spuds from each plants. Not bad considering it just been 3.5 months since I planted the seed potatoes. I probably grow this potato variety again because the yield is good even on shorter growing time.

That recipe looks delicious and I am not even a sardine fan! Ryan definitely looks like he approves too. :D
Your produce is beautiful this week. Well actually, it is beautiful most every week but you have a real highlight of those eggplants to dress up this week's bounty.
What a great harvest. I have given up on eggplant. Can't find one that will produce here in my short growing season.
I see your harvest, Diana and I'm thinking of summer ... still far away. Great eggplants, lovely cherry tomatoes !
And such a sweet little boy !
Hugs !
The salt of the sardines with the tomatoes, I bet was very good!
Looks really good!

Your pasta dish looks delicious and so easy to put together. That's a big purple kohlrabi.
