This blog was originally about my attempt to live for a whole year, from August 2007 to August 2008, eating only food that had been produced in Britain. My aims in this were to see if it was actually possible and to try to promote British food. Well, I survived the year without too much difficulty! So I have decided to continue the blog, this time looking at all that can be produced in Britain and how British ingredients can be used to create some fantastic dishes.

Plants
Well, the tomato plants I'm growing are doing really well! They are almost ready to be planted out in a grow bag. In the end I kept the five strongest seedlings and planted them into individual pots.
I only photographed one of the five, which happened to be the biggest, but the others are similar. The peppers are not growing anywhere near as quickly, although they are coming along. I have decided to wait until they grow their second set of leaves before transferring them into separate pots, just like I did for the tomatoes. Actually, this works out really well because by the look of it they will be ready for this at just about the same time as the tomatoes are ready to plant out.
I don't know quite how many I shall keep, probably only three or four. I have to remember that all the other seeds I have bought but not planted yet will need some space!
