In Doy’s garden

Log it in Doydum and a row of aubergines sprouts in today’s bed in front of Doy’s house.

Walnuts are eaten by the handful, crumbled over yogurt and salads, and used in baklava, muhammara and cevizli sucuk, the walnut and grape-molasses sweet. In Turkey, walnuts with white cheese and bread are a classic breakfast pairing.

Handfuls vary a lot by hand size, so weigh one once to see what yours holds.
