    Yea, I usually have a small garden of veg. I enjoy the reward of growing my own veg. Besides that, you just can't beat veg picked the same day as you eat it....especially the likes of lettuce and scallions.

    Veg garden and a few lambs for the freezer. If this weather continues I'm not so sure about the veg, haven't even got the first earlies sprouted never mind in the ground.

    One that grew very well for me continuously was Broad Beans - very handy for adding to stew/soup or a dinner. Very filling.
    Fresh Lettuce and scallions are different experience to what you buy in the shops.

    When I was younger I could slip through the fence around the garden and go unnoticed through the peas, there was one patch that I left suspiciously bare after numerous return visits.
