What I like about growing to eat immediately is just as you can't bear the same thing for dinner yet again due to a glut, the garden moves on with its harvest and presents you with a new set of tasty treats!
We have moved on to broad beans and carrots!
Got to get through the bean crop quickly as I have just spotted a couple of runner beans are nearly ready!
And in exchange for cucumbers which had all 6 had ripened at once in our greenhouse- neighbour leant us a mini mower and trailer to take hedge cuttings up to the bonfire. I had done 4 trips with the wheelbarrow already, each trip is 200 steps each way, and was fed up. The trailer went up twice and saved me 8 x 2 x 200 steps in more trips. Thank goodness we only cut this length once a year (after the hedge sparrows have fledged) as the rest of the time it provides a good place for the birds to shelter in any windy weather.
Hubby is going to have to build you a go cart with trailer ;0)
ReplyDeleteOh yea! I could do with something racy! (or a lighter wheel barrow).
DeleteThere is nothing better than eating according to the seasons !
ReplyDeleteIts the best! I am starting to resent buying oranges and bananas even. Cant grow those of course. When we were little they were a treat not an everyday item!
