« on: July 06, 2008, 12:50:53 »
This selection of young juicy veg just picked from my garden and prapared for dinner later.

Potatoes are getting rather large now but still very tasty.Baby carrots,peas just out of the pods 10 minutes ago and shredded Hispi cabbage.....all I need to do now is to get some chickens on the plot and Im made!

oh, and mint sauce,  just need to supply the lamb chops  ;D

Over the weekend we had:
lovely green salad from the garden, with home grown red onions (yep the bolters!)
new spuds parboiled then pan sauteed with the said red onions and some thyme, also home grown,
peas! yum yum yum
pie made from our fruit, first time I have got gooseberries! Delish!

And waiting in the fridge are some lovely yellow courgettes and some fennel, that will go in with the roast chook tonight and the courgettes as ratatouille! Needless to say I have stopped going to the market and I think I will call it a day on my organic veg box!
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com

I love this time of the year when fruit and veg is all your own stuff. I am having fruit compotes and yoghurt for breakfast, salads (including potato and broad bean salads, washed baby carrots yummy) for my packed lunch, and then I am cooking whatever is ready for dinner plus meat or fish. Spinach, both normal and orache, have been a delight this year.

I would be veggie in the evening as well -  risotto primavera is one of favourites, but my OH doesn't believe it's dinner unless it has meat or fish with it  ::)
