Some time ago I mentioned I had switched from basil and parsley in my Auk mini to cherry tomatoes, chilli peppers and some mini peppers. After 2 weeks I saw the first sprouts and by now the tomato plant is a giant dwarfing the other 2. Luckily I could decide on what would go into…

Restaurant Forza in Baska
