I grew a stew!

[lottie dolly]

well done,what a great feeling,just wait till the salad,and other greens are for picking,it fills you with pride that you grew it,and the taste is far superior to the shop stuff,it's that,that keeps you wanting to grow

Ok here is dinner, it looks dreadful but it tasted great. (carp pic due to Mr H phone)

Blowing own trumpet here but that tasted absolutey marvelous! We had no idea that veg could taste so good. My carniverous sons actually said the meat was the least interesting bit! You got to bear in mind that my eldest once stated that veg is what food eats!

Glad to hear it tasted good and it doesnt look so bad.....homegrown veges nothing like it lol

[Nicos]

Strange thing is-that home grown veg actually must have at least 1,000,000 x flavour for teenagers to notice!!!


Other than strawberries and lettuce and radish..I'm WAY behind you !!!!!!...well done ( note to self to get in extra butter!!!!!!!) ...YUMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!

[Glutton4...]

Wow! Seriously impressed! All round yours for din-dins then

I've harvested my first Spuds, so I'm feeling a bit smug too!

[Snadger]

Well impresed..........your stuff's so much further ahead than mine.

I probably won't be able to grow my own a stew until September.......I'll just have to make do with leek and tattie broth up til then!

[julesapple]

You Grew Stew and....

....you could also make a fab soup too.

Not forgetting that those ingredients added to others can make shedloads of other tasty things...carrot cake?

Well done.....very envious as I've only eaten two strawberries from my garden so far this year. I am new to edible growing though (that's my excuse anyway)

Well done Fiona. Enjoy your success and your veggies. Your carrots look great. I might try overwintering some and see if I can get them early next year.

[Professor Peabody]

Well done on all that lovely stuff.

I'm slowly learning that nothing beats the taste of home grown stuff! Why oh why didn't I do it earlier! NCG soups do a great veggie soup recipe in one of their books and I cannot wait for my parsnips to be ready so I can try it out.

[FionaH]

My parsnips seem to be going to seed so might not have as many as I hoped this year
Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement guys it is lovely to share the excitement as well as the trials and tribulations

[StephenH]

I am so fabulously excited by this!

Good for you!
I'm looking forward to being able to make a stew entirely from my own produce too, but it'll be sometime in late autumn, I should think, when the first parsnips are ready. Parsnips, turnips, spuds, onions and tomatoes, and my own herbs to flavour it.

[dexterdoglancashire]

Nice one! It's a super feeling isnt it?

[janeyo]

Hope the stew was FAB
