    It's all worthwhile

    I was out riding tonight when OH decided to finish off the dinner to save me a job when I got back - awwww! Best bit of it all was when he told me that nipping out to the garden to 'pick' your tea was just the best experience ever!

    I was so chuffed. Please tell me that feeling never goes away....

    I'm just discovering this for myself too! We picked a pod from the Peas this evening, not quite ready yet, but sooooo tasty straight from the pod. Haven't bought Spuds for about a month now, and other stuff is well on the way - can't beat it!

        I think we finally have nough sugarpod peas and dwarf beans to use them in a stir-fry tonight, to accompany the duck parcels and wedges.

              Nope - it just gets better! We've just moved so don't have much growing at the moment, but there's a few tomatoes and we've been eating our own salad leaves for a couple of weeks now. Taste sooo good!

                The anticipation is just as exciting for me, I go round planning what I'm going to make while the veg are still ripening...I'm looking forward to the first courgette this year, its a race between a yellow one and a green one.

                    Oh I'm so glad it's not just me that does that! I wander round the garden before I've even gotten dressed and 'plan' what we'll have for tea.....I'm so glad I'm not alone!

                      You'll never be alone with the Vine! And a phrase a friend (also from Fife) taught me recently 'its brough'! ('scuse the spelling though)

                          It is a great feeling, Braw indeed.
                          My granddaughters love coming over to go to Granddads strawberry shop, and seeing them picking them for breakfast is simply fantastic.
                          I had a friend over last summer, who picked a punnet of my cherry toms to take home.
                          On arrival back, the girl child was summonsed to do a blind taste test on my cherry toms and M+S special super duper top of the range vine blah blah cherry toms. Mine won hands down, and girl child even phoned me to congratulate me.
                          Great feeling indeed.

                            He works for a company on Queensferry Road (not sure where he lives though). We were discussing Ewan McGregor when the subject of braw came up - he's snoggin' braw
