    We had Allotment Curry tonight...our own onions, garlic, shallots, peas (freezered) and dried beans, mixed with Lidl's half price veg...mushrooms and sweet potato (took cuttings to grow on)
    The Chives are taking over...had them raw with Purple Sprouting on the lottie this afternoon. Parsley too.

      Herby tomato and and potato soup madi in the autumn from my homegrown tomatoes, potatoes, harlic, onions and herbs for lunch. For dinner tonight we had a vegetable stirfry, onions and garlic from the store and frozen peppers, chiles, preas, green beans and brocolli from my summer crop. Celery from the supermarket because I cannot get it to grow.

      In the glory of the garden.

              I had chives, winter lettuce, spring onions, leeks and leafbeet: all stir fried in some black bean sauce. I took a photo of them all first
              Very, very well done.

              I had fish and chips.

                Where the chips from your own spuds?

                Had the last of some tomato and chilli chutney I made with the tail end greenhouse crop last summer with some fish cakes tonight - thought I'd made far too much but obviously will have to make more this year!

                Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                  That stir fry I made with spring onions...they weren't onions, cos I just now found them still on the plot. What I actually dug up and cooked were immature garlic plants! Interesting flavour, if a little tough

                    We had our first home-made and home grown produce yesterday, a rhubarb crumble to follow our tea!

                    Rhubarb was sweet, delicately flavoured and reminiscant of champagne, absolutely gorgeous, especially with a decent helping of custard too!

                    First produce out of the plot that we've had this year, delish!!

                      Well played, Mrs D - although I confess that I was a day or two in front of you - although I didn't appreciate it as I don't go for rhubarb (YUK!). Pulled 3 off 10" stems for mum on Sat, which she reported as being 'very nice, but rather a small portion' - ungrateful so-and-so!

                      Feels a bit special to go home with an 'I GREW THAT' smirk on you visog, doesn't it!

                        Well it was yesterday actually, Potatoes from store, shallots, tomatoes from the freezer, purple sprouting broccoli with Liver. Given that I can buy a whole liver for about 3 yes 3 euros, which will fees us 6 times, with the scraggy bits for the cats, not was it only a very cheap meal but delish Followed by rhubarb from the garden. CK had never tasted forced rhubarb before and came back for seconds. As he doesn't like 'healthy' things it must have been good

                          Not sure, but aren't one of the rhubarb varieties called 'champagne'??? Very apt if so!

                                Another Rhubarb Crumble is being prepared as I type, Mr D is peeling / washing the rhubarb, whilst humming the Rhubarb and Custard theme tune, and crumble is in the magimix, oven on and just waiting for him to finish the peeling before I can stew it and then its custard and crumble! Mmmmm!
