From ground to plate

isnt it a great feeling A JH when you can enjoy the produce that you have grown yourself?

It most certainly is. It's fantastic. I really do feel more content, productive and enthusiastic in my garden now :-) It's my little haven!

im still waiting on my tomatoes to ripen, cant wait to see what they taste like

It IS such a great feeling, isn't it! Had eggplant from my Sq.Ft. garden last night. Yummy! I have had so many peppers that I had to put a second container in the freezer for them.

My tomatoes seem to be taking a long time to ripen too...!
I am excited to grow an eggplant (aubergine) will have a go earlier next year. I also can recognise the 'freezer' packing - I will need a bigger freezer at this rate too!! LOL. Raded mum & dads garden Wednesday, bought rippened blackcurrents, plums, apples, rhubard and raspberries home.... they are in the freezer in bags after freezing seperatley, the rhubard was simmered with cinnamon and ginger, three out of four pots made it to the freezer (yummy). The apples... still debating at mo! I also took clippings of vine, pear and raspberry they are potted and in the greenhouse..... fingers crossed x

I bought a large chest style freezer 3 years ago and it has been great for the produce. Have containers of homemade salsa, and Jalapeno peppers, Cayenne peppers and homemade Basil Pesto plus cut yellow squash in there now and still waiting on more to go in. I know some of my terminology is a little different, so I will try to make it easy to understand me. lol

No worries re terminology, please continue to use US terminology, I like the diversity. I just knew I had refered to eggplant earlier so added aubergine to make the link. Hope I didn't / am not offending you!
I think I will repot my basil to encourage more growth. There is never enough leaves from one week to the next! Pesto sauce is delicious and my boys love it :-)
I am just waiting for my pepper plants to mature, just on the verge now (I am really excited - you will probably hear me squeal from your home when they do. LOL!!

That looks wonderful. Perhaps next year you will get more.I know the feeling of eating your own home grown things. I had potatoes too at one stage. got them out when they were little and I fried them in olive oil whole. Aubergines they call eggplant here too, lol.

Oh dear - my stomach's rumbling now, reading all this and looking at your lovely dinner, A jh!

I've done a similar thing to you - tried growing potatoes in tubs but didn't add more compost. I thought they'd all have died away but now I'll go and see if there are enough for a nice meal like yours.
Best wishes, Hywel.
