Even if you can only grow a chili plant or some herbs on your kitchen window, it still feels good! I live in Lanarkshire, so not far from you at all :-)Agnieszkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16556229938697587075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234735500174170033.post-49274483533601252622018-02-22T15:22:10.404+00:002018-02-22T15:22:10.404+00:00I live in the city and I grow my own.

You just don't know how old stuff is in the supermarkets. I'm limited, but I do what I can. There's great pleasure (and hard work) in growing your food, but I love it.Theresa Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226952474166295533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234735500174170033.post-29866479100529438412018-02-21T20:06:11.908+00:002018-02-21T20:06:11.908+00:00I think the main crop potatoes were affected by th...I think the main crop potatoes were affected by the dreadful weather last year. I’ve never thrown away so many before. <br /><br />I really like your blog and have just gone back and read it from the beginning! I’ve saved the recipe for roast cauliflower and garlic soup and am going to try it this week.<br /><br />I grew a lot of vegetables when I retired but have recently moved into my son’s house which has no space for anything other than pots. I do have some earthboxes and am going to grow some of my favourites in these. I live in West Lothian which is probably not too far away from you if you commute into Edinburgh for work!<br /><br />CarolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
