The chillies are ripening, and I shall be harvesting them as I consider the chilli as a vegetable. I slice chillies to add to a stir-fry. This chilli has a sweetish flavour, making it a good addition to a salad.
This white squash hanging over my garden box can grow to the size of a dinner plate, when the skin would be tough like that of a pumpkin. I pick it at this size when it is still tender and good for steaming or adding to a stir-fry or a soup.
This is what the squash looks like when left to mature.
The white squash growing habit is more like a zucchini, spreading along the ground. I suppose the male flowers could be used as a vegetable but I have not had the time to do anything with them.
