The one where the garden starts to get fruity and things need pricking out.
Category: Vegetables
I’m more of a savoury man than a sweet one, and therefore I love a plate full of vegetables. My parents have always grown vegetables, and some of my earliest memories of gardening are of helping them by picking tons of homegrown peas, or watching my dad grow tend his beds of a what seemed like a bazillion potatoes. They’re so nutrient rich and delicious, that I can’t have a garden without hiding a few vegetables in there – usually Courgettes, with a few French Beans and Lettuces.
