"Do you grow your own veg and/or fruit? Have you planted your spuds and onions yet or perhaps you just grow your own herbs like I do. "
My brain went straight to penis thoughts like the above did 
In answer to your question yes, I am very green fingered and can grow pretty much anything. That's my ideal, I'll grow it and he can cook it  |

"Strawberries
Raspberries
Gooseberries
Potatoes
Radish
Lettuce
Peas
Plus loads of flowering "things"
Have a love of getting hold of cheap/free garden stuff and spray painting it to use too"
Sounds great. Nothing like having all that fresh fruit and veg you grew yourself. I wish I had more time to do more, perhaps when I retire |

"I am.
Lots of fruit and veg growing at home.
 sounds great, lucky you
There's something magical about planting a seed, watching it grow, then being able to pick and eat."
Absolutely is. I used to grow lots of veg, mainly in a big greenhouse, and had a few apple tees too but don't have that now where I live. I just have lots of herbs all year round which I use daily as love to cook. |

"Definitely a grower (in more ways than one....) Just planted my cucumbers"
Apparently they are 'unisexual' as they have both male and female flowers on the same plant unlike other similar plants |

Yep!
Potatoes are in their bags
Tomatoes are in the grow tent
Broad beans are getting used to being outside
Peas are too
Strawberries are in hanging baskets
Lettuce leaves have been sown
Chives are in pots
Tomorrow I will be sowing rocket, parsley, rosemary, beetroot and broccoli.
Bring on the zombie apocalypse. |

Wow, that's an amazing and enviable selection. It's the beans ans tomatoes I miss most for some reason but still enjoy all the herbs. |

Yeh, I love broad beans in a salad, and nothing beats tomatoes you have grown yourself. I’m going to try to make tomato sauce for jars that should last all the way though winter if I preserve properly, but it’s my first attempt, so they’ll probably grow furry within a fortnight. Lol |

Lol, I believe if you cover the top with oil it stops it from doing that. Mind you I never made it myself, I just do that when I open a jar of tomato paste and seems to work |

My parents do but it's only really the low maintenance stuff that thrives as my mum isn't green fingered so most of it is left to my dad
I would recommend it though, garden grown veg tastes so much better than shop brought |
