It’s time to remove the last tomatoes, Mexican cucumbers and chayotes before the first winter frosts.
If you’re not already familiar with them, chayotes are a fruiting vegetable from Central America in the Cucurbitaceae family. It is also known as ‘Christophine’ and contains lots of antioxidants, fibre and vitamin C. It was a pleasure to harvest them at full size, so they could make way for the other good vitamins: winter salads!
