A Bright Harvest

Yellow Courgettes Ready for The Shelf! 🌟🥒

We’re thrilled to share some wonderful news from the Grow East Anglia allotment—our first batch of yellow courgettes has grown and is now ready to be donated to The Shelf, the Community Supermarket at Citizens Advice in Diss!

These vibrant yellow courgettes are as nutritious as they are beautiful, and they’re sure to brighten up the meals of those who rely on The Shelf. Packed with vitamins and flavour, they’re a versatile ingredient that can be used in everything from salads and stir-fries to soups and baked dishes.

A Big Thank You to Our Volunteers

This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work and dedication of our amazing volunteers. From planting seeds to watering, weeding, and keeping an eye on pests, every task has been carried out with care and commitment. Your efforts have helped transform tiny seeds into a bountiful crop that will make a real difference to our community.

Why Yellow Courgettes?

Yellow courgettes are not just a feast for the eyes—they’re also:

• Delicious: With a slightly sweeter flavour than their green counterparts, they’re perfect for adding a unique twist to any dish.
• Nutritious: Rich in vitamins A and C, potassium, and fibre, they’re a great addition to a healthy diet.
• Easy to Cook: Their tender skin means there’s no peeling required—just chop and cook!

Supporting The Shelf

The Shelf is a vital resource, providing fresh, affordable produce to those in need. By growing and donating these courgettes, we’re proud to contribute to this important initiative and support the local community.
