Bah, I had to go out and pick several pounds of green tomatoes, because our plants have developed blight. Anyone got any good recipes?

In other garden news, I harvested a load of nigella seeds as discussed here, and they look pretty much like the ones you eat, although I'm still not really sure whether the plants are sativa or damascena. Well, I guess if they are the wrong ones then they just won't taste of much. I cut the dry heads off the plants, cut all the heads in half across the middle and put them into a colander over a bowl, then shook the colander, so the seeds fell out of the breached pods and down through the colander holes into the bowl. Got a lot of small insects, mites, and other gribble in with them, so a certain amount of winnowng was required. But otherwise it was a pretty easy way of gathering spice. Recommended!

I only say breakfast because fried green tomatoes go very well with scrambled eggs.
