First picking of peas!...can't wait!!!!
I have found it soooo hard not to eat them raw but we're having our first 2 yellow courgette as well ...plus own spuds and frozen apple with our daughter's rare breed pork.
Followed by black cherries!
First total home produced meal this year.
Feels good doesn't it?
