Tonight's meal was a real mish-mash but hugely enjoyable for all that.
We had shop-bought Scottish mince burgers (good quality) with cheese on buns, home-grown new potatoes and shop-bought salad. We finished with home-grown rhubarb crumble.
Growing our own produce has become something we experiment with every year. I normally try growing tomatoes and watch in despair as the plants wither, but the tomatoes remain! This year we have grown them hanging upside down and it has been a great success, but they are still green at the moment.
Potatoes were a first for us and they have been very successful. We grew them in bags which had flaps near the bottom to harvest the potatoes. They are delicious when eaten so fresh.
Finally we bought two rhubarb plants and have put them in far too hot a place. They are surviving and providing us with rhubarb. It needs quite a bit of sugar but was very nice to be eating our own rhubarb. We will also look forward to blueberries from our own blueberry bush in a pot later on in the year.
What have you tried growing this year?
