Personal Totals:
 
I added carrots to my list yesterday.

Don't suppose our harsh judge Auralee will let me count tequila, it is derived from a plant......
 
Day Four was a blur - sorry!
But there was certainly lettuce and tomato, and (this is new for my list) eggplant!
 
Day 4-
Beans, green
Broccoli
Brussel Sprouts
Cabbage, red & green
Carrots
Cauliflower
Celery
Chilli
Chives
Gai Lan(a new one for us- looks like Kale, tastes like broccoli) Bought at an Asian supermarket.
garlic
mushrooms
onions
parsnip
potato
zucchini
There was a vegetable stirfry omelette for bf & lots of veggies with grilled salmon for dinner.
 
Today I added yellow squash and zucchini to my list. Both came from our garden, makes them taste better and I think ought to be with a few more points!

A borderline one for the judge, olives, I had black olives on a salad. Any chance those count?

I see the tequila ploy didn't work....
 
Just to throw a cat amongst the pigeons ;)
"Using this more specific definition all fruits are considered vegetables but not all vegetables are fruit. Olives, plums, tomatoes, artichokes and cucumbers are fruit. Lettuce, potatoes, celery and beets are not reproductive parts of the plant developed from flowers so are considered vegetables. " Very confusing this. If I start adding my fruit it will up the ante a bit.
What's the verdict? :)
 
Day Four:

Tomato
Mushroom
Carrot
Water spinach
Garlic (but not nearly enough!)
Ginger
Taro


Extra cheers for home-grown veg, alligatorob! And is that a cat or a Cate among the pigeons there?

For this challenge let's stick with foods that are generally considered "vegetables", including fruits like olives, tomatoes, artichokes, and cucumbers.

For the next challenge we can do vegetables AND fruits.
