It is a fabulous recipe and it turned out beautifully. It is sweet and spicy and I can't wait to try it on a ploughman's platter with some corned beef, cheese and crusty bread! <br />Thank you for sharing the recipe! :)Joolzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07490462580345458546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-91606740863812532372018-01-31T13:56:28.282+10:302018-01-31T13:56:28.282+10:30Selina, if Kilkivan is on the dry side during summ...Selina, if Kilkivan is on the dry side during summer, then you should be able to grow them. Best to start the seeds in egg containers first, and plant out after they have at least four leaves.Jembella Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646075804716647311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-20285955282157616892018-01-31T13:54:12.028+10:302018-01-31T13:54:12.028+10:30Thank you to you all who have taken the time to le...Thank you to you all who have taken the time to leave a comment. Gosh, I wish I could send you all some of our zucchinis. I'm now thinking that, as most of your comments are from Queensland friends, perhaps the zucchini is not suited to your climate. It is, after all, a Mediterranean plant, and the South Australia climate is close to that of the Med. Any humidity will cover our plants with downy mildew, seriously debilitating the entire plant, unless we spray with Casuarina tea or a weak milk and water solution at the first sign of mildew. For Blossom end rot I'm not sure what to do for that as we've never experienced it in our zucchinis. In finishing it needs to be said that, as you were blessed with the Queen of fruits (mango), I think you're still definite winners even if you can't grow zucchinis. :-)Jembella Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646075804716647311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-50483662244285298622018-01-31T12:08:40.936+10:302018-01-31T12:08:40.936+10:30We had blossom end rot on ours too, all our plants...We had blossom end rot on ours too, all our plants were ripped out before Christmas when I finally gave up on them. I had heard everyone in our area was having the same problem.

Some have blossom end rot which I need to address of course. Some people are freezing them to use in soups in winter. I have the sum total of ONE in the fridge at the moment. LOL!
