Only six months left!

I'm a month into the Vegetable Challenge, and still managing fairly well.  We have a couple of storebought onions left in the cupboard, as well as two half bags of frozen veg, but are regularly eating celery and chard from the garden, with the occasional leek, purple broccoli (nearly done now), and even a couple new season radishes from the allotment:  our first allotment harvest!

The only regular "salad" fruit we're buying is cucumber which the son has in his lunches;  it also goes on our salads with  finely chopped chard leaves, radishes and spring onion, homemade sauerkraut (made at Christmas with super cheap bought cabbage) and homemade zuccini relish (made last summer from gift zuccini).  I said to the husband we don't need to bother growing lettuce anymore, since chard is so much easier/more prolific.  I don't think he was entirely convinced though.
