Little changes are needed at first, but you get used to your new life after a while, then it is not so daunting. Using up all the food you have is a good idea. Eat everything, throw nothing away.

When I planted them out I put a few slug pellets around the bottom of each one. Every night and morning I go round the garden picking up slugs and disposing of them. I have been doing this for a few months now, to minimise the effects of slug damage. <br /><br />Yes, I steam the radishes in the pan with the rest of the veg. Easier to eat and not so hot.

I'm inpressed on how you manage your money. <br />To be honest, I do like my little luxuries. But as I might have to be the breadwinner in a few years time (looong drawn out divorce, and with a teenage son), I think it will be good time starting getting the hang of saving money. I doubt if I ever be as frugal as you are, but every penny ( or cent, I live in The Netherlands ) saved, will be a personal victory. <br />Job for tomorrow, clear out the freezer and see what kind of things I can do. Might have to take a peak at your food pics for inspiration. Just with meat added. Some stews may be?<br /><br />Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18150067098778096238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-27403132539395409032013-07-14T23:16:20.219+01:002013-07-14T23:16:20.219+01:00Your tea looks very yummy, we had salad leaves and...Your tea looks very yummy, we had salad leaves and peas straight form the garden wiht ours tonight (dont things taste so much nicer freshly picked!).

Wow, your veggies from the garden look delicious. It's so nice to be able to pick your veggies right from your own garden. We have tomatoes, arugula (rocket), zucchini (corgettes?) and some green peppers. Nothing is ready yet except the arugula which we have made about 4 salads out of so far. It's more peppery than the one you buy. I love it. So fresh and just knowing that there are no chemicals used on it is really something.
