Nothing like home grown veg / fruit and creating some thing from them. I have a few punnets of beetroot in the ground at the moment and still waiting for them to grow. As soon as I take my eye off of them and forget about them, they`ll be grown up and knocking on the back door to be boiled up and pickled. I pickled a heap of green capsicum and chillies two weeks back and hoping the vinegar mix will go good on the next batch of fish and chips, but no idea what I`m going to use the capsicum and chillies for. I`m the only one in the house who`ll eat chillies in one form or another. You looking at acreage of some sort, or an extra large back yard?
