The first pods of peas showed up on my plants a few days ago.  They were promptly turned into a stir-fry, along with some chicken, broccoli and corn :)  There’s a certain type of satisfaction that comes with knowing that I grew that food in my garden, and that the furthest the food had to travel was 10 feet onto my chopping board.  They’re quite good raw too!  (Hell is scheduled to freeze over soon.)

Talking to someone on an IRC server I frequent, he mentioned that he used to grow all the ingredients for a good salsa in has garden – that’s a tempting idea for next year.

All the onions are looking in good form, there must be about 50 of them!  Enough onions for a year if I’m lucky, and the packet only cost me a quid or so.
