Well look who was right!
I am super impressed with Mr Lil and his green fingers. So far this summer we have had lots of lettuce and radish, a few tomato's, some spring onion, some rhubarb which Dot turned in to a lovely rhubarb and ginger crumble and that's been about the lot. Not that I am moaning at all, I don't think that we have had to buy any of the aforementioned for months so it's certainly kept us going! Oooh and strawberries too, we had some strawberries before Lola Beagle found them and decided that she quite liked them for dessert every night!
However, Mr Lil has surpassed himself today!! The picture above is what was freshly picked from the garden this afternoon and is now going to be magically transformed in to a lovely roast chicken dinner for this evening! See how clever we are, we can make the above in to roast chicken. Well not really, but you get the picture. Incidentally, the bread was whipped up and baked whilst Mr Lil was picking the veg!
In all seriousness Mr Lil and I really hadn't a clue when we started out growing the vegetables etc and we still have a lot to learn (like that we've missed a fair few of the planting dates for winter veg, oh dear!) but it just goes to prove that it can be done. With a little knowledge, a lot of seeds and some hard work then you really can enjoy the fruits of your labour!
Bye bye xxx

I love that feeling of "I did that!". We started a small veg plot and it's been great. I have probably missed all the planting dates, I'm not best known for being organised, lol! Good Luck xx
It's great isn't it and I am sure it tastes better too!! Good luck with yours, sounds like you are doing really well too xx
Good old Green fingered Mr Lillis
;o) xx
