So, what will you be eating that you grew?

I'll be going down to the allotment Saturday morning and dig up parsnips and
leeks, and pick sprouts and curly kale.

Plus beans (broad and runner), spuds and carrots already harvested.

No livestock allowed on our plots or I'd have grown a turkey :-))

Incidentally, the Royal Institution Christmas lectures this year are about
food and the way it works our bodies. Starting Boxing day on Channel 5 (UK).

Happy Christmas everybody.

What a coincidence! Ray was just saying at lunch that Geoff Hamilton and
his brother used to have a competition each year. The competition was to
see how many veg they could cook for Christmas lunch that they had grown
themselves. Ray doesn't recall who the winner was but thinks the final
number (including home grown and frozen) was 14. ;-)
