Yep delicious,picked half a dozen tomatoes aswell,crazy for time of year really

Yep, does seem very late for tomatoes. We've still got some slowly ripening. They're sweet and taste good but the skins are very tough, too tough really.

Done! I made about 8 jars of chutney a month or so ago. Had a few outdoor plants and it got to the stage where there was a rook of green tomatoes going bad or attacked by slugs before they went red. It's great with cheese in a sandwich.
I made a load of marrow pickle last week as well. Using a couple of monster courgettes from a glut in the summer.

Good crop of Szechuan peppercorns here this year.

Do your peppercorns need any more preparation than drying out and putting in a grinder 

think I would give them a go 

thanks
