My OH recently got an allotment. We get so much produce that we can hardly use it all ourselves so it's shared amongst the family etc.

Yesterday he came home with a dozen beetroots which I duly boiled. We have OAP bungalows backing on to us .....(we know them all well) .........he took the tupperware round today and said take what you want ...................................they were taking three or four at a time!!!!!!!!!! All gone now.

I know he was feeling all smug and self satisfied but ................he then said 'What an effin liberty'. Really funny ...................maybe you just had to be there though.

Actually I've posted this to try and reclaim some sort of normality on here .........................is anyone gonna help me out?

Yay for the pensioners and their beetroot love.

You should tell them to have a word with the HATERS over in the lounge...a whole thread dedicated to beetroot hate. It's very sad

Actually this whole allotment phase is really and truly doing my head in. There was only beetroots this week (thank god) .........at the height of the season there were tatties, cabbages, carrots, peas, beans, cauliflowers ........you name it we had it!

It's hard enough cooking Sunday lunch for nine/eleven without having a sink full of mud.

A welcome reprieve to have the pre washed stuff this week ........have to say though - it wasn't as tasty.

Awww, bless your hubby for doing that.

although I have to say that the only beetroot I like comes in jars and you buy it in Marks and Spencers

we are actually so fortunate to have wonderful neighbours with the OAP's. We love them ............we are in the Fish and Chip business and every Saturday he brings them in Fish and Chips ................they look out for us and we look out for them - it's as it should be IMO.

Aww, they are sweet the OAPS.

And doesn't stuff that you have grown yourslef taste fab? Once of our neighbours gave us some tomatoes and cucumber that they grew and they looked a bit weird, but tasted GREAT! They hadn't been artifically grown you see.

lol...one of my neighbours gives me all his tomatoes - but my kiddies have grown their own this year in those grow-bag thingys...but you're right, they have such a sweet flavour unlike the ones shop bought.

All I've got is pears, apples and really sour grapes.

My OAP neighbour takes any pears hanging over her fence.
Mind you, she keeps our footballs!

Footballs don't taste as good with ice cream though...

Our garden is tiny...we have the beginnings of a herb garden though....every tea time he nips out with his scissors...everything we eat has green bits sprinkled in or on
