Monika wrote:I agree with OH - do make a list of what you both really like and I would also try to stick to things which taste so much better just fresh from the garden, like peas, mangetout peas, French beans etc., rather than e.g. parsnips which are not expensive to buy and which are not that different shop-bought than fresh from the garden. Added to that, all salad stuff, of course, like cut-and-come again lettuce, radish, spring onions, beetroot ... and herbs.
Do enjoy your garden, CJS, it looks lovely.
Thanks Monika, makes a lot of sence, we like mangetout . . . a lot!!! Any sujestions on growing? I remember my dad used to go to the heagow and cut twiggy sticks to grow peas up, not pratical these days?
Salads are a given of course, going to try self blanching cellery this year, see if I can get back to the tast I remember when I was a young'un. Also baby cucucumbers in the green house, grow them threw the grape vine, along with sweet peppers.
I stil strugle with what to grow in my green house, its filling up with overflow from the shed again????? My outside toms always do better than the ones I do in green house, so not bothering this year. Aubergines do well, we discoverd we did not like aubergine! Melons last year were a disater . . . mind, most things were half a 'desaster'
in the garden last year.
I must keep it simple this year??? Hazel is going to need a lot of my time after the operation???? I will probably retire a couple of months early, the op is 29th March, so from then on its nose to the grind stone, learn how the washing machine works . . . scorch a shirt or two, lots of f&c's from the chippy, only a 1 minuit walk from the back gate
Vacume cleaner, whats that? Thank god for a dishwasher!
What am I like, typical pampered male, I love Hazel to bits I do
. . . CJS
