Nothing out - 3 bags of homegrown dwarf beans and gave away lots of runner beans to neighbours.
We had runner beans as though they were asparagus for a starter - steamed with a dob of butter, some grated cheese and salt and pepper - delish!
Followed by homegrown salad with shop bought coleslaw, cheese and pickle (all cupboard staples!)

Eat the YS pork chops with homegrown beans and carrots for supper yesterday. It will be make-do fridge clearance now until Wednesday and then a bit of a break for us. I must reorganise our freezer so that Son can see a selection of ready meals as he is house and cat-sitting for us and while he might pick stuff, he is unlikely to anything but freeze it!Save £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £9586.01 out of £6000 after August (158.45%)
