Hi all,
Well this idea certainly puts a new twist on growing your own!

We are friends with a couple who live 2 doors down from us,we havent known them that long but OH found out that it was the guys birthday today.When OH told me I mentioned it was a shame we had'nt known about it as I really like giving presents.Then I had a lightbulb moment!I keep nice strong cardboard boxes(I send presents overseas)so dug one of these out,lined it with some nice paper,and then went outside.I walked around my veg garden and dug out some new potatoes,picked some shallots,mange tout,carrots,spicy lettuce leaves,black kale,and some parsley and chives.Placed them attractively in the box,and went round to present him with it.He truly loved it!!!!
