Veggie garden & home made lemon cordial

Well, here is an update on the veggie garden - as you can see it is looking great :-)

All is going really well and the broccoli is very big but no broc's yes :-(

The tomatoes are growing BIG but I have to say the snow peas are doing the best.

Can you see how many snow peas are on there!!!!

The fruit trees are thriving too :-)

Lots and lots of new growth.......

I am pleased with the way it is growing so hopefully I will have lots of vegies soon.....

Today, Mum sent me an email with the recipe for making your own Lemon Cordial. Jemma stayed down at Mum and Dad's over the school holidays and she LOVED this cordial. When I picked up Jemma, Mum's friend had given her a box of lemons and Mum gave them to me. So, this afternoon after work, I made YUMMY lemon cordial.

LEMON CORDIAL RECIPE

2 & 1/2 cups sugar

1 cup lemon juice

2 cups water

Combine water & sugar, stir over low heat for approx. 3 mins until sugar dissolves.

Increase heat and bring to the boil. Boil for 2 minutes without stirring.

Pour in lemon juice and bottle. Makes approx 1 litre. Keep in the fridge.

I got the bottles from the Vinnies shop today and washed them out. I doubled the recipe and got 2 litres of cordial. There is a lot of sugar in it, however all cordial has heaps of sugar and at least you know exactly what is in it. Had a taste test and it was YUMMY. Great for using up lemons or if lemons are cheap and you buy a box full!!! (or your mum gives you some - thanks MUM!!!)
