A great seasonal dish Courgette Spaghetti with Tomato, Garlic and Basil Fresh, inexpensive and naturally gluten-free. Serves 2 as a main course. Ingredients * 3 medium courgettes * 250g cherry tomatoes, halved * 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped * 1 small onion, finely chopped * 1 tablespoon olive oil * A handful of fresh basil * ½ teaspoon dried oregano * Salt and black pepper * A squeeze of lemon juice * 30g grated Parmesan, optional Method 1. Wash the courgettes and cut off both ends. 2. Use a spiralizer to make long spaghetti-like strands. If you don’t have one, use a julienne peeler or cut the courgettes into thin ribbons. 3. Warm the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook gently for 3–4 minutes. 4. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds without allowing it to burn. 5. Add the tomatoes and oregano. Season with black pepper and a small pinch of salt. Cook for 5–7 minutes, until the tomatoes soften and form a fresh sauce. 6. Add the courgette spaghetti and toss it through the sauce. Cook for just 2–3 minutes. It should be warm but retain a little bite. 7. Remove from the heat. Add the torn basil and a squeeze of lemon juice. 8. Serve immediately, topped with Parmesan if desired. Top tip: Don’t overcook the courgette or it can release too much water and become soft. For a more filling meal, add mushrooms, cooked lentils, chicken or sustainably produced minced beef.

I have been growing veg and flowers for as long as I remember. And their management as a groundsmen of an estate. I have over the last couple years I have noticed something, but not being able to put my finger on what that is. Plants struggling to take hold. Mature plants just giving up the ghost. Plants not putting on healthy growth in prime conditions. In the estate there are many ornamental shrubs biannual and perennials. The biennials would be prolific self seeders. This year it has been so noticeable that biennials have not grown. The perennials seem stressed where grow has been weak. This has also noticeable in the allotment and the orchard. The apple and pears are carrying 70% less fruit this year. Early veg has been weedy. On the estate there watering systems so it not down water stress. This is well drawn water I would add. It feels like there is some changing and I don’t buy the climate crisis. Is anyone else noticing similar issues???

Can anyone help with this issue??? Mark, do you have any farmer friends who might be able to find homes for these... A FB friend posted and asked for this to be disseminated.... Best if you properly check out the legitimacy but the research I've done has come up with the same post elsewhere. What rules suggest that perfectly fine chickens have to be culled?? URGENT - Please share (copy and paste) Forwarding to anyone who might be interested, Dear All , This is a cry for help on behalf of some seriously brilliant laying Burford Brown hens! Richard Corbett has 6,000 feathered friends (free range) that have to be culled on Sunday July 5thth – purely because these are the rules when supplying Waitrose M&S etc with eggs. I’m on a mission to try and find as many homes as possible for as many hens as possible – even if its only for 1 or 10 hens. We already have five of his brood and they lay 5 eggs a day which is completely fabulous. So, if you have it in your heart to save a few feathered lives then please add your name to the list and return to me. The Collection date – which HAS to be adhered to – is July 5th. They should be collected from Richard Corbett at Dean Farm House Binley Nr St Mary Bourne, Hants. Tel: 07881783206. PLEAASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW
