For me, it began in my attempts to grow veggies in a public demonstration garden. But once you bite into your own produce, there's no going back.Weeping Sorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05617503185773155102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-441141568118034925.post-73571272777401431502009-04-22T15:08:00.000+02:002009-04-22T15:08:00.000+02:00I'm envious about the Broad Beans too.

So far there seem to be fewer around.

The broad beans look good. Even the dried when cooked have a nutty flavour. Naturally so fresh from the garden is best, notably to be able to eat pods and all.Lavender and Vanilla Friends of the Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05403418150146893599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-441141568118034925.post-1585476728688651222009-04-21T00:49:00.000+02:002009-04-21T00:49:00.000+02:00Wow, it looks like 2 different days, the photos to...Wow, it looks like 2 different days, the photos towards the village and the opposite direction.<br /><br />I don't have many slugs or snails around, they don't seem to like crossing my gravel or wood chip paths. And the surrounding areas tend to be so dry that they don't have too many hiding places.<br /><br />Isn't it nice to planting out summer vegetables?Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-441141568118034925.post-25553246350211561032009-04-20T11:53:00.000+02:002009-04-20T11:53:00.000+02:00Jan: I thought it was dry and stony here!
