We grow huge amounts of beans for eating as french beans or shelled as haricots. They eaither freeze or dry well and are a great protien fix especially if your a veggie. Climbing varieties give bigger yields over a longer period of time.
Also try Tomatillos, they make a great authentic Mexican style salsa. Another fruit from the same family, cape gooseberries stay fresh for ages when picked and add something special to any dish you cook.
We love morrello cherries, they make fantastic sour sauces thay compliment and bbq meat and the trees just love the more shaded areas of a garden.
Melons are always worth a go, keep them in a sheltered warm spot and you will get a crop, even if its just 1 or 2 fruits, you wont believe how sweet they are. |
