My family were never really big on gardening so we just had run down yards. I remember the lady accross the road was growing veg and I was really fascinated with what she was doing, but all the children on the street thought she was weird. <br /><br />Our courgettes have given up producing now that the weather has gotten cooler too :-( Jenna Michelle Pinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01438592085244872019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151798681951781536.post-15630418648651664322014-08-18T16:43:08.432+01:002014-08-18T16:43:08.432+01:00My absolute favourite meal used to be runner beans...My absolute favourite meal used to be runner beans and new potatoes from the allotment and omelette made with eggs from our own hens!

The dwarf French beans have done well too. In fact, I'm picking so many beans that I'm supplying my parents with them and freezing some too, I'd have been inundated if the slugs had left the plants alone. The courgettes are still coming regularly too, far too many for us so we're giving lots away.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151798681951781536.post-68073717373890215732014-08-16T21:22:44.959+01:002014-08-16T21:22:44.959+01:00Your meals look delicious.

Our courgettes have slowed down in the last few days and the skins are getting very dark and hard - I wonder if they are coming to an end or if it just all the rain. Despite lots of lovely pumpkins last year it look as if I'm going to get zero this year? Like you we eat from our garden for only a few months a year and then have to buy in the rest of the time - I too would love to be more self-sufficient but we don't have enough room either and half of the year we are covered in snow - but I'm satisfied doing the best with what we've got!<br />I'm a menu planner too!!EMMAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02900165967124695510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151798681951781536.post-24878086113180748942014-08-15T21:21:28.301+01:002014-08-15T21:21:28.301+01:00Your childhood gardens sound wonderful!

Our runner beans failed - twice - this year though, which was a surprise as they were so abundant last year! We're making the most of our veg patch though, as we're moving house soon.<br /><br />Enjoy all your delicious-sounding food!
