This week we have had our first (almost) completely home-grown dinners.
The meat was from the supermarket, but the potatoes, peas, salad leaves and herbs were from the garden- and so were the raspberries for after!.
Considering we started here from nothing, apart from a lot of nettles and thistles, less than a year ago, I'm really proud of what we have achieved.
And just in case you think we are being completely utilitarian, the Geraniums, Marigolds, Dahlias etc. etc. are brightening up the place beautifully too.
It's looking like a good year so far- except for the parsnips, none of which have germinated at all. We shall have three types of beans, fennel, tomatoes, more lettuces, beetroot, broccoli and carrots in another couple of weeks.
And if you've never tried them, can I recommend Melon Turnips- they are pure white and sweet enough to eat raw, but make great soup too.
Cheers
Dave
