    I would have to investigate that as I've no real clue how it all works etc.

    License already paid for..... but if I understood the system it'd be worth considering.

    I have 2 sugar snap peas : )

    I wandered over to the vegetable garden and have a terrible confession. My romanschi have slightly gone over, with out me eating one. :o


    I'd already picked some hefti courgettes for this evening when I saw this. ( of course we're having both now)

    We have yellow beens ready now, so I better get out and pick and process them before the same happens to them.

    ... romanschi ... hefti courgettes ...yellow beens

    Never heard of the first one.
    I am assuming that means hefty - big/weigh a lot .... if hefti is part of the name, never heard of it.
    Never heard of yellow beans.

    Yellow beans are lovely. Like green beans, but, yellow! A little more tender , a little harder to not over cook. I've not tried to freeze them before. Who knows, I might be about to find out why they are less popular here!

    I did, could the freeview box be the problem? Could the signal be digital only in your area, so needs a better box?

    Go here: http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/ and see what it says about transmitters in your area.

    If it weren't digital only she wouldn't need a freeview box, no?

    No, not heard of that either.... but as it's broccoli, that's what I'd have known it as .... broccoli. :)

    I love green beans.... but not the hard, tough, stringy ones so common in our garden :) .... and then frozen and lurking for months with freezer frost before they were dunked into boiling water, boiled and served up ..... I hated those.

    Btw, as a bonus, those romanesco have been Ignored by pests. Maybe the local pests are wary of furren foods? Anyway, its a bonus. Might be worth thinking about for harder working people who grow veg.

    Our corn also looks good,( we thought it might get wind damage here) but, not all formed ears yet. I think I only counted thirteen ears or something.
