What We Had For Our Tea Last Night.

 

The veg plot keeps on giving.  A swede and a leek.   The leek became leek and potato soup today.

All grown from seed and planted in my plastic containers and wooden planks raised beds.  I piked lots of buckets of well rotted fym into the beds and weeded and watered and they rewarded us with our fresh, organic and homegrown vegetables.  What more could you want from your veg plot?

J went to town and to Lidl and came back with 2KG of Orla Organic potatoes for 2.99 and a "big" chicken for 6.99.  Total 10 Euros for four of us.  Or 8 Pounds thirty three if you live across the Irish sea in Blighty.

For those of you who weren't very good at Metalwork.  That works out at 2 Pounds each per person.  Not bad for a nearly organic and homegrown tea.

  1. Yum.... I buy 2 chicken breast fillets for £2.50 at our local Co-Op. We usually have them baked in foil with lemon juice, parsley and ginger paste and some roast potatoes. Cheap!

  2. Lemon and lime juice is wonderful JayCee. Did you ever read my post about a lad I worked with going to a wake at his relatives house in Yorkshire and they said they would go to Cope for more bottles of ale? They set off down the street and my workmate saw a big sign: Co-Op. You found a bargain tea fo you and P.

  3. The taste of home grown is vastly better than any purchased veg, enjoy your harvest. We don't eat many potatoes here, I prefer rice. Marlene, Poppypatchwork

  4. Yes I agree Marlene. You can't buy that newly dug and fresh vegetables that you get when you grow your own!
