In the last month, my fruit and veg bill has plummeted. I've been tucking into the garden most days and it is every bit as satisfying as I hoped. My particular favourite is corn on the cob - grown in a spare bit of border. I couldn't plant enough of it though - most certainly need to consider moving to somewhere with more land, just for this crop alone!
Kale and sprouts that started off so slowly are finally growing wonderfully too. I think they might be my only foray into winter veg this year, but I've got grander plans for next year, now that I have a slight idea what I'm doing. I have got a couple of pumpkins as well, but I fear all the wet weather might turn the baby fruits to mush before they get big enough to hold their own. They're not looking in tip-top condition at the moment. Fingers crossed.
