So what did you eat from your garden today?

The gun has gone off in our garden and now we can join the slugs in eating our produce.

Yesterday we had a Webbs lettuce, spinach and rocket for a salad.

Today I picked mangetout that had been grown in a tall bucket recycled from a fudge shop, Nantes carrots also grown in a builders bucket, little Oasis turnips and strawberries for pud.
They are all organic and lovely!

You?

    I ate the one ripe strawberry from my plant - couldn't wait any longer for the others to ripen to try them! It was delicious! :)

    Unfortunately, I dont have a garden, merely a patio (in hell - next to train line, and busy road, and major thoroughfare for drunken idiots who like to pee there at 3am (grrrr)) - so the only things im growing indoors are chives, rosemary and dill, lemon trees, and a newly planted garlic. I intend to have a garden next month when we move, and have already planned for potatoes, spring onions, red onions, lettuce, tomatoes (dont like em, but the boyf does) and peppers, all because I buy more of those than anything else!

    I have to say though, fresh chives are amazing!! I keep trying to put them in everything, I had a mushroom and pepper ommelette today, with a liberal handful of chives - delicious!

    Well done JW for managing to grow what you do indoors and good luck with the house move!
    Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind.

    We have loads in our tiny garden but only the lettuce and mint is ready to eat so I kind of made mintsauce yesterday to go with our roast dinner (yes I was stupid enough to cook in that heat!) but it wasn't that good, too much vinegar :o
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Glad to see I wasn't the only one doing roast dinner yesterday!
    We also have plenty on the go, but only herbs ready at the moment. We have mint, sage, rosemary, garlic chives & ordinary chives.
    But there are cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuces, potatoes, strawberries and pears to come. Wish we had a bigger garden!

    I only have slugs and grass in my garden and I ain't eating either. 1a_y_sick1.gif

  • Nothing in our garden either (apart from the odd roaming bullock and I don't think my eating that would go down well with the landlord ;) )

    I have one big and one tiny courgette ripe and ready for eating :j

    Just trying to decide the best way to cook it and what to have with it to really appreiciate the flavour of my very first home grown vegetable :j
    When life hands you a lemon, make sure you ask for tequilla and salt ;)

    Only things ready to eat in my garden at the moment are peas - and I've got too many of them!! *Having* to eat them straight from the pod to control their abundance! :D
