[1] Zea Mays

veg: potatoes, carrots, onions, french beans, rainbow chard, sweetcorn, mushrooms, tomatoes
fruit: peaches, victoria plums, bananas, apples, pears

This is really sweetcorn month for me.  Initially boiled and eaten with butter and black pepper, then when I’m bored of that, made into sweetcorn chowder, or with chicken, chilli and noodles in a thai-style soup.  The babies have loved the plums and peaches, whilst the pears and bananas will need a few days to ripen yet.  We’ve already made a chard and ricotta pasta sauce and eaten the potatoes and carrots in  the form of baked potatoes & home made slaw.  The mushrooms and tomatoes were grilled along with some sausages for sunday brunch and the french beans will be steamed and put in a nicoise salad.  That leaves the apples for packed lunches and bircher muesli and the onions will be saved for making tomato sauce.
