Broad beans, cabbage, carrots, courgettes, tenderstem broccoli, black currants, strawberries, raspberries, parsley, peas, mangetout and new potatoes.

Now all I need to do is pursuade my OH to eat it too and stop buying stuff from supermarket.  Last week I bought no veg and went to lottie to get some, only to find he had taken the bus to town a bought some.  He left my nice fresh cabbage and eat a plastic one.  I picked half a saucepan full of strawberries on Saturday and he would not eat even one.  Had a supermarket yoghurt with red jam stuff instead.
