Although this blog is about roses, gardening and vegetables I have added a new category – “Fresh from the Garden” which is already proving to be very popular.

It’s all about my own family recipes – tried and trusted recipes that I use personally to create mouth-watering dishes from the fresh, organic vegetables and fruit produced in our garden.

You may have seen one or two already – for example, my family recipes for pumpkin fritters and creamed spinach – directly from the garden to the pot. There can be no better flavour than using such fresh organic vegetables.

I will be giving you more recipes in the future as the seasons dictate!

For example, it has just been mulberry season and our mulberry tree was laden with juicy black mulberries.  There was enough for the birds as well as for us.

I made 20 mulberry pies and froze a lot of them for winter. What could be nicer than a hot mulberry pie and custard in the dead of winter?

If you would like my mulberry pie recipe just let me know in the comment section below and I will write it up for you.

I hope that you will enjoy the new section about my home recipes – “Fresh from the Garden.”  And by the way, if you try the recipes do let me know how they turn out.
