From Home.....
Homegrown Veg Pledge
If anyone feeling is brave then join our pledge to eat more homegrown this year.
My personal aim to eat something homegrown (from my garden, friends/neighbours/Grozone/forgaging) for at least one meal at day - so it might be raspberries on my cereal, lettuce on my sandwich, herbs in an omlette, vegetables with my main meal, for five days a week, from the start of the growing season - middle of May until October.
The point of this is to try and be growing more in the garden, explore recipes, reduce food miles and up vitamin intake as well as eating more seasonally.
You can be as ambitious as you want with your pledge - start when you want and do as many days and meals as you feel is achievable. Join in, and let us know what you are growing and eating and share ideas!
You could print off the picture and stick it up on the fridge with your aims on it to remind you!
