ES, our favourite way with Zuchinni is to make fine threads, same with a carrot , mix together, little salt and served with Greek yogurt that has a little Chili oil over the yogurt.   Had this in Turkey .

Ooh, how lovely and cool sounding. Do you use a gadget to make the zucchini threads Chookie?

Yes Cookie. The black one in the photo, OXO brand. The other is wonderful , I use it every day . It has 3 sixes of thickness and a lock so you don't cut yourself when in the drawer.
I forgot to add that the yogurt has a little dill stired through.

I have a mandolin. It's an old Bamix one from many years ago. I will look for the other. Thanks.

Your apples look great, it is tempting to try growing those ones you have got there.  Do you get coddlin moth, Chookie?  If you do, how do you prevent it?

Very nice apples Chookie, do you have to net them to protect them from birds?

Ballerina  apples are from Flemings. The apples grow close to the trunk.  This makes them easy to cover with nets.  If we didn't cover them we wouldn't get any apples. They are a small apples and are of different.  The Charlottes are bigger and round.
