GET GROWING PRESERVING AND STORING
I'll admit it, I have shamefully thrown home-grown produce away after I've left it to sit too long on the bench or in the fridge. Maybe I harvested too many at once. We've all been there – getting a little too excited while picking veggies fresh out of the soil!The buzz it gives me hasn't worn off yet, and I've been growing my own produce for more than five years now. Maybe there's been a glut; courgettes especially. While I do enjoy taking my harvests straight from the ground to the kitchen, I have found lots of new ways to store and preserve my home-grown veggies since I started growing – none goes to waste, and I can enjoy them for months of the year.
