I haven't tried agave yet, but I did plant a Stevia plant in my garden the other day. The leaves are so super sweet, I'm looking forward to harvesting a bunch and using them as a sugar replacement in sweet bakes.

It would be lovely to have blueberries growing in your courtyard - they always seem such a novel fruit and the idea of growing them is daunting to me too. I love the little bear (is it a bear?) by your pots too. The idea of a tofu pie also appeals to me and, of course, peaches always appeal to me :)Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887621874869110597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-79551951853895216602013-11-07T02:14:39.983+11:002013-11-07T02:14:39.983+11:00How nice to be heading into summer again, when veg...How nice to be heading into summer again, when veggies are at their best! Was the veggie pie vegan? I like the idea of a tofu top rather than double pasty. Clever! I can't get enough of harissa either - I could eat it straight from the jar (though I am reliably informed there are other uses for it too!)Joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17066424084187434409noreply@blogger.com
