Thought I would share this week's veg box. All grown on my sons land.

Your son is a star, that looks awesome. What are the baby hedgehogs and the ones to the left of them?

[Redastrid 3lbs in reply to Tiggerr]

the baby hedgehogs are exploding cucumbers. I think that's what I am going to call them from now on I must admit they are new to me and I am not sure what to do with them. I will have to ask my son

What a healthy looking box. Your son is clever to be able to grow that lot.

Caroline he has a small holding and there are 3 of them that work it.

That is a fabulous veggie box, I love the array of colourful and tasty looking vegetables. Really great that your son and his colleagues are growing such great produce.

It's great to see people growing stuff a bit out-of-the-ordinary. I can see wing beans there and cucamelons as well as the "baby hedgehogs". I really like cucamelons and I'm surprised more people don't grow them. I think those are crystal apple cucumbers hiding at the top there? They have a very nice flavour, different from the boring old green ones.

The AwfulToad they grow lots of things I have never heard of. I am getting a real education in vegetables

[TheAwfulToad Visitor in reply to Redastrid]

More power to them. We'll bring down the supermarket hegemony eventually!

Where do they sell their produce?

[Redastrid 3lbs in reply to TheAwfulToad]

You can collect from them or if you are local to Great Gransden they will delivery.

I think I spy gooseberries. I love gooseberries and hardly ever see them in the shops

[Redastrid 3lbs in reply to BridgeGirl]

[BridgeGirl Administrator 2 stone in reply to Redastrid]

Oh I'll have to look them up! I thought it wasn't the season but they did look like goosegogs

[Hidden]

Wow this is delightful. What a talented son. What are the spiky things at the bottom?

[Redastrid 3lbs in reply to Hidden]

Blue at they are exploding cucumbers

[Hidden in reply to Redastrid]

This is a lovely box of vegetables and so appetising.

Wow, impressive. I got one strawberry and two measly tomatoes this year.
