I simply cannot wait to start cooking with everything... i'm enjoying scouring recipe books in anticipation... I was perhaps slightly over-excited about the prospect of the veg and picked one beetroot and one carrot and as you can see... it think I have a while to go...
also, it seems we have a strawberry thief in the village... just as they turn red they magically disappear. I'm assuming it's a bird but if you read in the news about a spate of garden related murders in Lincolnshire you know I've caught the neighbours at it!
made a salad with British asparagus, home grown lettuce, mozzarella and olives for lunch. I can't get enough of the asparagus and I think I'll attempt growing my own next year... if i'm allowed the room in the garden!
eat and of course, enjoy!

menuda suerte tener un jardin y cultivar tus cosas, yo no puedo porque vivo en un piso, pero me encantaria!!
ReplyDeleteDominic - I also have a strawberry thief, most likely a field mouse from the nest in the back lane. I keep finding half eaten strawbs in the middle of the lawn despite them being protected by rings of netting. The galling thing is that they are half eaten - if you don't like em stop nicking them.....I hate those meeeeces to pieces...
ReplyDeletei've been away from the garden for 3 days now and as i was leaving on Monday all the strawbs were turning red... no doubt the thief will have taken them by the time I get back! I'll look out for pesky meeeeces though... good thought!
