2 Courgettes (a warning of things to come, I fear!), carrot thinnings, couple of spring onions and some more tenderstem broccoli. Some onions already at home, throw in some spices and some scallops and 10 minutes later a perfect chinese stir-fry. Apart from a withered pepper from the bottom of the fridge all the veg was from the allotment :)

Great thread!
Im only just starting out so not a lot coming from ours.
Today we had spring greens with our tea from the garden. Ive decided not to try to get them to be cabbages as keeping the slugs and caterpillars off them all summer will be too annoying!
Apart from herbs this is the first ever non animal thing Ive grown and eaten  :)

Nothing - birds ate my black currents  :( On the bright side I found the great big fat slug that has been eating my bean seadlings  :)

But you didn't?
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Gooseberries and radishes today
All the way from my allotment in beautiful Derbyshire. I'm in year 3 of my allotment and wish I'd caught the bug years ago, things growing from strength to strength

Emptied the bag of odd spuds that I had left over and put in a grow bag.  Enough for a couple of boilings. Spearmint and Pepermint to add to my 20+ cups of tea a day. does this count towards my 5 a day I wonder?
