Great stuff. I've only managed to grow two pea plants (it's my first try, took me a couple of attempts to get seeds to germinate), one is about two feet high now, the other only about a foot. They started to get eaten by little mini snails last week although I think I've managed to get rid of most of them and am checking vigilantly every day now. Don't reckon I'll have enough to think of freezing any but when (if?) I get any I'm going to really enjoy that meal.

Ive been eating the peas. We have had 3 meals from them so far.
Courgettes for dinner every day and two lots of ratatouille in the freezer.
Broad beans all eaten.
Spinach was bolting so all up and in the freezer and have leaf beet in the ground.
Have eaten a good few beetroot and we have not bought any lettuce since May, and we have salad twice a day.
Not bad for our first year with a kitchen garden.
