It's true what they say

The proof of our success is in the taste, and the beetroot is evidence that we are very successful. We have be told many times that there is nothing like the taste of your own grown veg and it is true. Boiled for 10 mins, the skins rubbed off and eaten slightly warm. Yummy.

Today was the turn of the cucumber. There are so many growing that I decided to cut the first.



I don't know why but I was surprised when I sliced it and it looked like a cucumber inside. The taste was fantastic. Don't worry there will be plenty to go round. In fact I think I am going to have to start searching for cucumber recipes.




It won't be long until we have courgettes. There are both green and yellow and the longest is 5 inches so almost ready for cutting. This yellow one is just over 3 inches. Aparently you can eat the flowers as well by deep frying them, but they look so pretty it seems a shame to pull them off.

The plastic in the bottom right of the photo is its own little feeding bottle. It is a plastic bottle with the bottom cut off and the cap removed and burried top down so that filling the bottle daily gets water right to the roots. Cunning eh.
