Well, here we go VC ... yesterday was the first outdoor courgette and during last week around 26 June was my very first ever picking of broccolI, but I'm sure others have some earlier dates -
Just yesterday - first new potatoes (charlotte), first broad bean pods, first lettuce (fringe headed drunken woman) - and a few radish, but those weren't the first.

Spuds don't make me envious 'cos I've already had some of my own
You'll have to do better than that!
And I've done Hazel's broadbean pods and lettuce (another Drunken Woman of course!!)
BUT jayjaybee's courgette and broccoli are turning me green
