I remember when I was young, I was not interested in gardening at all. When I was a teenager, I saw my mum's friend growing fresh tomatoes in his garden, and started to change my mind.
After my marriage, I have my first house with a small garden. However, we haven't followed the British tradition to make our garden looked beautiful. It was because my husband and I were not really into gardening. About two years ago, we moved to a new house with a bigger garden, so we started to do something with it. However, I don't like to plant flowers because they wither too easily. As a foodie, I insisted on growing some veg!
This year we tried growing some French beans. When the first leaves appeared, they seemed struggle to grow strong. However, after a while, it suddenly grew tall and produced a lot of beans. There were so many, we didn't know what to do with them! Fortunately, my father-in-law has a very good knowledge of gardening and knew how to deal with them. He taught us to cut the bean into smaller pieces, boil them for 3-4 minutes, cool them quickly with cold water, then freeze them. Now, when we want to use them, we just take some out of the freezer and boil them for a few minutes, and they would be ready to eat.
