I remember the year Mr SW grew courgettes. I just froze loads of them. I love them as a veg but couldn't be bothered with the small amounts used in cakes etc.

As for home brewed wine - my father-in-law once made some awful stuff and chucked the lot. Some years later he found a bottle that had been overlooked. It was beautiful

My late MIL was another who would brew anything that grew, sprouted or flowered. The nettle beer was horrid, as was her lettuce-and-pea-summat-or-other but her parsnip wine? It was so thick it was almost a sherry and gorgeous. It was also a knee-destroyer par excellence because, when you stood up after a snifter or two you fell down. I still don't understand why. :? DD
