Eating it!

Seeing the bean sticks up, suddenly my little plot is a vegetable patch not just bare earth! Guess what I did today

Mind you I do like eating the result too

seeing it grow into something edible - and also sharing the glut with family and friends

Me too! Me too! - Except I also love my porridge.
I've loved every bit of work I've done on my lottie so far. Even the aching back at the end of a long day digging. It signals the fact that another bit of ground is ready for planting. Woohoo!!

Must admit its seeing those tiny seeds germinate and grow into all that wonderful veg,and eating it of cause!added bonus now is watching my grandsons face light up every time a seed he has planted pops above the soil.

All of it's great but I have to agree, seeing the seedlings come through the compost never fails to set my heart alight!

**jessica38** · 26-04-2009, 05:11 PM

All of it. The excitement & anticipation of seeds germinating. The ongoing care & maintenance. Harvesting & eating it with the smug satisfaction that I grew it.

This was exactly what I was thinking and totally agree 100%

**Samwise** · 26-04-2009, 05:56 PM

I agree, there's nothing more satisfying than being able to eat something you've grown yourself

**ardroil** · 26-04-2009, 06:18 PM

i love everything about it, and i get loads of pleasure saying to friends, "i grew that"

**Two_Sheds** · 26-04-2009, 06:41 PM

I love sowing. And planting out.

I hate pricking out, hardening off, and watering.

Digging up my first early potato's and eating them of course..

I love seeing the babies poke their heads above the soil - the most exciting bit for sure! And I love digging. And I love planting things out into their final position. And I love seeing the first flowers, the first sign of veg, watching it grow. I love weeding. I love harvesting, I love digging up spuds, I love peeling back the sweetcorn leaves to see what the cob looks like. I love eating it, especially if someone else has cooked it. I love boring my friends rigid with "tales from the allotment", and showing off about what I have grown!! And best of all I love sitting down with my little one, surveying a good couple of hours work, and eating something raw that we have just picked.

I don't like waiting for germination, I don't like pricking out or potting on, I don't like finding stuff damaged / eaten / dead after something's been at it, unfortunately nor do I like the hours spent picking off blackfly or caterpillars, I don't like watering (except new transplants), I don't like forgetting to harvest the broccoli and seeing it bolt before my very eyes.
(Fortunately, most of the above is optional
