| Yesterday, we had: broad beans, carrot thinnings, mange tout, lettuce and strawberries off the plot! I think my hubby is now starting to realise that it's worth the digging - I'm sure he thought nothing would grow & I'd get bored & give up. |

| Last night we had the inlaws join us (fairly unexpectedly) for dinner, so I roamed off to the garden and picked myself some gooseberries. Still slightly hard and perhaps a little premature, but I decided to go for it anyway and we had ourselves a LOVELY gooseberry crumble. |

| Trousers has very kindly cooked dinner for the last two nights, on account of the fact that I'm just 'UP TO THERE' with sowing, weeding and harvesting, and I am so very grateful to you sweetheart. Thank you. Last night he did the most amazing Linguini pasta with fresh courgettes, pattypan spaceships, mangetout, cheery (no I do mean that!) tomatoes, garlic, and herbs. And that tickled my tastebuds all the way through until this evening, when he prepared some Hickory-Smoked Pork Tenderloin with our very own fresh veg, and a few chips (!) And THIS is completely private, never to be spoken of again.... He actually took a SALAD to work today instead of a sandwich. Sshh. He'll never know that I told you......

| Had soup for lunch which contained some carrots from the garden as well as varied herbs (added some chicken stock, lentils, onion and swede but hadn't grown those) and for tea tonight the salad was all home grown although it's the last cucumber and even though the toms still seem to be flowering, am sure the frost will do for those soon also.
