You're right about the preserving plenty to do to in the kitchen!<br /><br />Shows are so much fun, Croila - the others don't know what they are missing! You're always going to have the last laugh when you grow your own - your own veg are cheaper & tastier. In fact, I might do a 'why grow your own' post...Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18191107549698019812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862210932296767630.post-53784465189372389802010-09-12T22:22:04.292+01:002010-09-12T22:22:04.292+01:00"A trip to the Birmingham Gardener's Show..."A trip to the Birmingham Gardener's Show" ... You know, it's so lovely to find other folks going to this kind of thing and into growing veg who are not old men. <br /><br />I went to the Dundee Flower & Fruit Show the other weekend, mainly to see the National Vegetable Society's annual exhibition, cause I've never been to anything like that before and I've just started to grow veg. And OMG did I get utterly tortured at work for it?! I got teased mercilessly, and it's still going on. They all say "growing vegetables is an old man's hobby, you're off your head", but now I can show them your blog - cause the photos of you don't like anything like a pair of old men! :-D <br /><br />AND your blog's a really interesting read!Croilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00052917010443106985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862210932296767630.post-56075276339404753212010-09-08T22:48:57.395+01:002010-09-08T22:48:57.395+01:00I wonder if it's the start of autumn hibernati...I wonder if it's the start of autumn hibernation setting in! <br />Today's sunshine helped me to drag my sorry butt to the allotment and get weeding but I've not be very diligent of late either. Keeping on top of the harvest is work enough. And then there's all the preserving in the kitchen.... <br />Seeking inspiration elsewhere is also important so glad you made it to the show :O)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
