Thank you, @Dovefromabove. You're absolutely right, I would be amazed 😅 !
No, ya' nut .... I meant it to exhibit surprise at your putting 'those things' in cakes, @Lyn 😊.
Oh, I thought you’d been peeking😀
surprisingly, courgette cake is really nice, the vegetable in it is not traceable but keeps the cake very moist, another is carrot cake and banana. What about beetroot cake, lovely.
I must admit that I make a much more basic one than Dove’s, I’m no domestic goddess, definitely wasn’t meant for the kitchen me, so it’s a basic sponge type recipe with added veg or fruit.

Oh yes, @Lyn, I'd forgotten about banana bread. We get lots of that onboard because they do tend to overbuy and, lets face it, what else can you do with twenty stones of rapidly going-off bananas ? (that's a question that doesn't need answering, by the way !).
When there's always biscuits in the tin, where's the fun in biscuits ?
Sweet potatoes are a great soup addition - especially roasted. Lovely. I don't buy too many bananas at a time - I like them best when they're green, and really dislike them when they get 'giraffey' as a friend of mine calls them. I'd just make banana bread and then it all at one sitting, so that's not good either.
I confess. I mowed my green strip in No Mow May. What's the point in providing a habitat in May and destroying it in June? My garden is 60/70% managed wildflowers. The habitat is there all the time. A variety of birds have been fossicking about in the shorn grass. NMW is a great idea for parks, road verges, graveyards and the like but it's not appropriate in my garden.
The amount of grief I got last year for daring to say that, was ridiculous @B3. Utterly bonkers. Why they didn't just suggest people keep a square/circle/strip as an unmown area, all year round, is beyond me. All that happens here is you get massive grass growth, and dandelions...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

It would destroy the natural environment.
