hello early girl, my kids think the keyboard only works for adults after 4 o clock

lol ff
i should tell more lies
is that the time i have to go and look for my bl**dy car key
my mum said shed be here at 2 typical
and i wonder where i get my (lack of) time keeping skills from

oh and mu shrooms too

fairyfly, just googled organic veg box north london & found loads where i am.
has anyone tried bumblebee?

My veg box is arriving today too and I get so excited at the thought of it waiting for me when I get home. Looking forward to eating lots of scrummy veg tonight and as DP is away I can literally eat a plate of veg without him turning his nose up at it.

I think I'm getting globe artichokes this week - yum...

maudy are they light green smooth and round with leaves on long stalk things
if so they might be the wierdy veg in my box(this has been what i suspected all along)
what do i do with them
how do i make them tasty
put them in a soup last week(against the advice of my mate) and they just made it spikey YAK

lol on the plate of veg my dp thinks aubergines are alien objects(and even courgettes)

this is what i get when i google, what?????

Agree - very exciting. I get a box every Friday, but I specify what goes into it (costs no more to do that) - must say yours does sound particularly good value tho. I usually get
peppers x 2
toms x 6
bunch of bananas
kilo of apples
kilo of pears
bag of spuds
lettuce
brocolli
cabbage or cauli

for about £18

what the fc*k is that? ff

oh girl you need googling help your on the trail of the lonesome pine

you got it wrong....all wrong

let me see if i can find the right site

maudy please help me with the artichoke situation i canot possibly think how they become tasty [perplexed]

ff[perplexed] too

earlygirl have you found your key yet??

no idea for artichoke recipe but there must be something on the net, BBC food or something like that?

What were the weirdi veg? I'm very curious.

I would love a service like that, but I don't think we have anything like that over here.

Last year I joined a community farm which entitled me to a share of the harvest every other week. It was great getting all that organic produce straight out of the ground, but I don't think I'm going to do it again this year, for 2 reasons. 1) It's a 40 minute drive each way and you can only pick up Thursday or Sunday afternoons. 2) We ended up getting a LOT of green, leafy vegetables (kale, chard, spinach, etc.) which I can only eat so much of, and not as much more "normal" veg like broccoli.

I would get an organic veg box in a heartbeat though, if I could.

ff cant get the sites are these any good to you?

KatG, you might try Eat Wild for some things. Not sure if there's anything around you. We get Burt's Beef (in N AL) when we go. It's soo hard to get decent meat, isn't it?
