£1.50 Lidl box

 

I popped down to the plot first thing this morning to water my tomatoes and peppers in the polytunnel.  All is looking good with flowers starting to appear on my tomatoes 🍅  On the way home I went to the 'big Lidl' and scored a £1.50 fruit and veg box.

I got a ton of carrots, 2 leeks (not much greenery on them but heyho), 2 cantaloupe melons, a huge pear, a bag of easy peelers, 3 large unwaxed lemons, 4 Scarlet tomatoes, a red pepper and a turnip (swede or rutabaga depending on what part of the world you hail from!) In Scotland it's a turnip or neep!! 

I'll be making soup with most of the veggies, that's lunches for next week sorted.  The lemons I'll slice and freeze for making elderflower cordial.  I hope the melons are still edible as they look a wee bit over ripe.  But anything past human consumption will go to Tuppence 🐔 or the compost bin.

A good £1.50 worth of food and all good for my digestive system (unlike the Too Good to Go bags!)
