Pasta with garlic-scape pesto.

The garlic will probably be ready to pull in a few weeks - but we're still eating up last years garlic - that feels like a real success making a crop last 365 days!

A few Lady C tats, a cabbage and the first of the globe artichokes (cooked for tomorrow's starter), last year's runners (from the freezer - had to really hunt for those so nearly down to the end) with sausages.

Maris bard, spring onion, coriander did a nice potato curry.

Mustard greens, new potatoes, carrot, chard, chives, parsley and lettuce did a quality "produce soup" cooked in a little chicken stock.

What a beaut davyw1!

We enjoyed a very tender serving of broad beans and new potatoes with our Sunday roast... enough for the 5 of us.  :)

I must have a look at the carrots when I'm down on the plot next. Fed up with supermarket tasteless varieties.

Just had a great brunch.  New potatoes with parsley, broadbeans, courgettes, topped off with a couple of fried eggs rounded off with strawberries and redcurrants.  Total cost 33p.

Ate my first homegrown strawberries today. They were huge, and absolutely gorgeous. :P Also cooked our first courgettes - a green and a yellow. Got a great buzz out of that since it's my first time growing them. I have a double-barreled yellow about to flower. The granddaughter's gonna get that in her baby food. ;)

Sounds as if you are enjoying the fruits of your labour. Good for you!  :)

We had macaroni cheese with a salad from the plot.
