we grow our own, we have a huge garden with an orchard at the end full of fruit trees (and chickens and ducks!), plus we have a veg plot and a greenhouse, I have potatoes chitting in the conservatory at the moment and loads of seeds to get going soon when I get my greenhouse organised and tidied up after the winter (we had rats in there last year that destroyed everything) Turned the veg patch over earlier this week so it's all ready.

We have rhubarb which I just leave to do it's own thing, made some fab rhubarb wine last year!, and I tend to grow things that are easy but are quite expensive in the shops, like beans, rocket, peppers, tomatoes, courgettes etc etc and unusual stuff you can't get like yellow courgettes, purple sprouting broccoli etc, I love it!

I forgot about my apple trees!!!! We have a cooker and an eater there and usually get loads of apples from them.

I'm not an avid gardener by any means, but I do like a nice garden to sit in in the sun relaxing with a glass of vino or two
