Unusual Vegetables

We were quite impressed with the array of vegetables being grown in the kitchen gardens at Tyntesfield. The greenhouses had a variety of peppers and chillies.


There was also quite a selection of aubergines.



The name eggplant means a little more when you see this one.


Across the way the walled garden is looking good.


These onions are ready to use.


The chard gave a rainbow of colour.


Even the courgette leaves blended in.


We weren't quite sure why these pumpkins were labelled like this.


It looks like there will be plenty of choice of vegetables in the restaurant this Autumn and some tasty soup too!

  1. Wonderful collection of veggies, I chuckled at the egg plants. The writing on the pumpkin is a method to incorporate design into the finished product - maybe for a planned craft at a fall fair. When Lady Ella & I grew pumpkins together, the etching into pumpkins early on was something I found a lot examples of on Pinterest.

  2. Great veg! David got quite excited when he saw that first photo - thought it was your garden and you were growing chilies!
