...that is until people started asking if I had stringed and snapped the beans, shelled the peas and shucked the corn! I mean....I DID grow it and pick it for them...want me to eat it for them too???
LOL<LOL>LOL!!!
Round here, anybody that has a garden is glad to share the leftovers, but ya gotta do the picking. That's mighty generous of you, Patti, to do all that, your right...want me to eat it for them too...LOL! i love that!
Please, do, let us see your garden. I love them. I had a couple, years back, but hubby got fussy, about digging up the grass. Then I got older, lol, so I gardened in pots, then started buying at farmers market. Havent' had any to put up in past two years. Still have some green beans and pole beans and squash...i worked my butt off, over those, and like you said, only two of us to eat them, usually.
You guys make me want to go play in the dirt, but got other chicks to hatch :wink:

Beetroot chutney is sweet with a hint of sour. I think you call courgette zucchini? I pick them small to fry in butter with garlic and to make soup, and let a few get big, then they're marrows. If you harden the skin in the sun, they keep for ages. You can scoop out the seeds, fill the hole with spicy minced beef and roast them - yum!

K, thanks for the garden tour! I love looking..your backyard must be huge! I'll try to post a pic of my teensy garden tomorrow...it rained here all day. It doesn't want to seem to stop and I need to get in the garden and tie tomatoes..badly need to!!
Its funny how different regions and countries cook the same food so differently. Here in the southern USA...whatever it is you need to cook-its fry it, or you could fry it...then again, you could fry it. :roll: That includes all veggies, meats and fish. :roll: Can you tell by our big buts and bellies?
