oh dear, funny stuff McP. I know exactly what you mean about drunken adventures, haha. Why take 5minutes when you can take 3 hours, have lots of fun, and not know exactly what you have done.

im with you on that D. i just tend to get into trouble on my adventures ive learned my lesson so most the time no matter how drunk i am i stay at where i began to drink. im not a socail drinker really, i like to sit at home and drink by my self or with one of my buddies. i usally only drink to get a nice buzz and then stop but hey some times we just got to get fucked up

haha i didnt even realize i caught the busch can, i usally come home grab a beer and go to the garden to relax, i know its the cheap shit but hey it works and for cheap beer its not bad im a busch drinker and some times ill spoil my self with rolling rock.
and im glad you got alor of veggies coming in, i too have been giving alot away, but i am gonna stop it now as i want to start fermenting some of the stuff and maybe some pickling.
yesterday i came home from work tired as can be and i grabbed a beer and a bowl and went and sat in my garden and dam near fell asleep for a few hours, gardens are just so relaxing to me for some reason even on the farm where i work my ass off i still feel relaxed and happy

I got big spuds and I cannot lie....
So funny, I only planted 2 little spuds that had roots coming out of them. And we got 7 potatoes back, lmao. Not exaclty going to feed us over the winter is it, but we did enjoy them for dinner last night. NB to self, plant more next time!!!!
And our avacados.....only another 10 years to go, hehe. With a couple of Money Tree snips growing in the background.
Peace veg heads,

nice taters DST.
on the farm we expect 10 pounds back from 1 pound planted. so depending on how much them spuds weighed you might have made good on them.
mine are still growing, they are starting to die a lil bit but thats what they do when their producing.
as for feeding lettuce, i just use horse compost and a bit of Peruvian seabird guano and they seemed to like it, i did not feed them i just added to soil before i planted.
also here is a pic of a small harvest of my garden, i will get a video soon.
i am hang drying some basil to preserve them for later use

Is that Thai basil McP? looks a bit like it. Do you know what is amazing, just deep frying some of the basil leaves. If you have a meal, (like a Thai curry or something) Deep fry the basil leaves, lovely sweet and crunchy!!!
Well the two I used were quite small so I guess it could be around that average.
We got some potatoe fruit as well, which due to Potatoes and Tomatoes being part of the Deadly nightshade family (as are peppers and many other agricultural crops) are poisenous to eat. You can plant the seeds but they produce smaller produce. Anyway, after some great google work by the wife, we discovered that the potatoe produces them when there has been overly wet conditions, which I know I like to bang on about how much it rains so this kind of proves it!!!! Fukkin wet Europe! The fruit looks very much like a tomatoe!
Certainly beefing up whodat.....
I will post a quick an easy salad recipe and dressing we had last night from the garden.
Peace, DST

So here is the salad I had last night. Basically just chop up your lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes (all home grown of course 
) Then same fo rthe avacado (still waiting 10 years for our own fruit, lol) and throw in some capers and some guerkins (chopped up). Then add the magic, PUMPKIN OIL!!! This stuff is the shit, we bought it in Austria, a speciality there. It's like dark green, almost like crude oil but when mixed with some lemon squeeze is amazing. So pour that on, add some balsamic for sweetness, and then a bit of fresh lemon or lemon juice squeezed in. Then I just put some pepperdews filled with cream cheese and some sesame seeds on top to garnish. And eh voila!
I had chicken breast battered with nutmeg and seasoning, then shallow fried. If you are on a budget, a good idea is to buy 1 chicken breast. Butterfly it out, then cover is with cellophane/foodwrap, get a rolling pin and flatten that bitch right out. Basically you are making what the Germans call a Schnitzel. Then breadcrumb this and 1 breast is generally enough for 2 people done this way....especially if you add your own breadcrumb, this bulks the schnitzel up.
Enjoy, and any questions feel free to ask away.

thank you fumble, the toms are still a bit on the odd shaped side of things but they are still from the 1st set of fruit, all the new ones i am going to be harvesting soon are all nice looking for the most part.
and DST yes that is thia basil, their is also lemon basil and original basil. thanks for th etip on the cooking.
you salad looks bomb to its always nice to eat every thing from the garden.
also DST what is wrong with your taters? it seemed like you were getting at they aere bad, but they look fine
