Greetings!

Post: # 205928Post Phoenix »

Hello from me and my hubby WhiteWolf, from sunny and rainy Gloucestershire (weather is changeable today!)

I found this site by Googling for a Beetroot chutney recipe, and liked what I saw so we both joined.

This year we have started to grow vegetables in our small back garden, we've got a lot to do still, clearing of trees and removing grass to replace it with veg beds :mrgreen: We harvested a heap of beets this morning, hence the search for a recipe. We've been eating runner beans, and courgettes, and tomatoes mainly. We do have a blog about our garden but it's a wee bit out of date at the mo, need to get back on there. We keep the blog mainly as a diary for ourselves to be honest. We've got cucumbers and chillis in our mini greenhouse, but we're hoping to get a 'proper' greenhouse before the winter arrives.

Loads to do, and more to learn, looking forward to contributing.

All the best,

Nix & WW :cooldude:
