Thanks for all the comments folks!
how do you consume a dozen Calabrese in a week or two??
Well when you consider I have ten mouths to feed it is quite easy.
Given a chance my two year old grandaughter would eat one on her own. My other three grand children like them as well, so as I say..........quite easy!
How much time would you estimate you spend on your veg?
Not a lot (in my opinion)
Over the season possibly an average of 2-3 hours per week. This can be as little as 0 to say 6 hours per day depending on the season.
On average; my routine ( because I am retired) is; I go down about five times a week for around two to three of hours a day, so say 12 hours a week during the growing season, and sometimes not at all during 'out of season'.
When I worked I would call in to water on my way home from work which might be up to one hour at the most. At the week end possibly four to 5 hours on Saturday & Sunday so again the total was around 12 hours per week average in the growing season.
Now that I am retired I just please myself and don't look to the hours I spend on the plots. For instance I might not go down to day (too busy answering queries on A4A ;) ) I'll see how I feel after lunch!
I hope that answers your question
