So Christmas is coming up and one of the best things for me as a child was my mother's Christmas pudding. The recipe had been handed down from her mother, and her mother's mother, and possibly back further.

I have loaded the recipe here so that you can try it out. I recommend using Guinness, and of course serving it up with brandy poured over it and set alight. Oh and don't forget the custard. Just tell them it came from Margaret.

Great to see many of the writers recommending the same heirloom varieties that we have been growing and selling for years.
So, this weekend we still have a good selection of tomatoes as well as zucchini, cucumber (including the New Zealand heirloom, Port Albert), gherkins, dwarf and climbing beans, pumpkins and the first basil of the season.
Early pepper and chilli plants should be ready by next week but be aware that any cold snap will set these back and reduce yield unless you have a warm sheltered spot or greenhouse.
