Chorizo and pepper pizza. Garnished with rocket and basil out the garden.

 

 

I see those mushrooms. Sailing close to the wind. Restraint is key with pizzas.

Left over lamb, fried leftover new tates and a garlicky avocado and tomatoe salad! Tom away so I can eat the stuff that he baulks at!

Praise where praise is due, Pete. That sounds lovely. A dewy English summer evening on a plate.

Off to South Devon to see the old folk tomorrow, Mum has dementia and lost the ability to be creative in the kitchen and gets upset if Dad starts.... Vat of Rogan Josh with local rules applied to be potted up for their freezer! Dad has a 'procedure' next week and cannot eat spicy or fatty foods so a chicken/leek/mushroom thing in a Mediterranean tomato sauce on pasta to do when I get there!

Another Madras for my freezer! All to the tunes of The Blues Brothers!

Not often I poach eggs and even less often I get it right. Should have been bold and used the bigger ones. Asparagus from the Suffolk asparagus mountain I’m presiding over. One of mum‘s historically more successful crops. 
 

And since we’re now flexing on vegetable production, how big’s your garden, sime42, you villain, you scum you vermin? Can’t answer? Pathetic. Probably don’t have a garden. Fantasist. You’d have been laughed out of my army cadets with that kind of shithousery.

Alright Rambo, calm down. You've only asked twice I think. That doesn't even make it onto the bottom of the leader board for the junior league of the CRQA, (Competitive Repetitive Question Asking), ffs.

I have absolutely no shame in being an anonymous, left wing, BS, lying, utter twat. But here you go; I've never measured it, and can't remember the figures from the particulars, but it's something like 10m by 40m.

 

 

Veg on the right, fruit trees and bushes dotted around all over.

Tenth of an acre, productively engaged. Smashing job. I know of chickens in much smaller bits.

No point having a garden if you don't make it work for you IMO. 

 

I know, I could keep chickens. But I'd want to give them free range rather than in some kind of cage. Unless it was a big cage, but then I'd have to sacrifice too much growing space.

Depends on your definition of big. First thought is a triangular prism from three heras panels and push it around the grass. I reckon you'd get four or five discrete sitings.

Pork steaks, cauliflower cheese and chips!
