Official start date: 21 June, 2025. Official end date: 21 January 2026.
Rules:
- No vegetables to be bought during the Challenge--with the exception of onions.
- "Salad" fruits such as cucumber/tomatoes/etc, are allowed but highly discouraged and will be noted. No restriction on non-salad fruits (apples, bananas, etc).
- Vegetables obtained for free, i.e., gifts/trades/foraged/etc are allowed, so long as no money is exchanged. Vegetables bought before the start of the Challenge are allowed.

My last Challenge unofficially lasted seven months, but only officially reached the
six month mark; I am setting it for seven months again--hoping to extend it longer actually--but will leave seven months as the goal. I feel this should be achievable--and I hope eight months or even the full 12 will be too. I will do my best to keep on growing and preserving up to and beyond the official end date.

I think I could have started this Challenge a lot earlier this year actually--we've been eating garden/allotment veg almost exclusively, barring some seasonal produce bought crazy cheap (£0.09 per kilo?!) at Christmas and Easter, which we mainly either froze or fermented for later use. I'm now freezing and fermenting my own seasonal produce too. Let's go!
