Had a huge plate of home grown veg last night.  French beans - purple, yellow and green.  I do like the yellow ones.  Carrots, broccoli, cauliflower  ;D, cougette, potato, parsley sauce (so much parsely it was green) and golden beetroot.  Followed by rhuarbarb adn three raspberries and a strawberry.

Totally delicious.

Bought a Chicken from Morrison's reduced to £2.99 from £6.00, Roasted it and froze Legs, wings, and half the breast for future use, had home grown potatoes, green beans, broccoli, would have had cauliflower except it was full of caterpillars and I did not fancy it. The whole meal was finished off with raspberry flan (home grown) felt very satisfied that the meal cost almost nil. We made a big pan of chicken soup with the carcase of the chicken with all home grown. Hows that for economy?

Poor Davy,

You sound very down, Have you not eaten anything today. Surely you must have something you can nibble on.
Please don't tell us that you have eaten convenience food!!!!!! Not even a bit of Rhubarb or salad stuff. Davy have you had a bad time with the drought?

My first root of Belle de Fontenay potatoes - they were lovely, shall certainly grow them again.

Had our lovely charlotte potatoes too, with a salad of our lettuces, saladan and lollo rosso and our homegrown cucumber.  Accompanied by some seared tuna. For pudding had home made yoghurt with honey and some mixed berries from our garden and allotment (blackcurrants, redcurrants, strawberries and raspberries and a few of my early blueberries.) So delicious. Love this time of year. busy_lizzie  :-*

Sorry to read that Davy, but look on the bright side, you can now eat all those things you were told were bad for them  ;)

mashed potato (Nadine), turnip crisps, broad beans, french beans, carrots and our first ever cabbage- all absolutely delicious- am so excited to be eating our own stuff!  There was enough cabbage for colelaw  too.  The chicken was purely incidental!

Tonight for dinner we had Quorn peppered steaks, kestrel mashed potato, cosse violette french beans and flyaway carrots.  Delicious !!!
