    Picked my first...................2016

    Seeing so many of you picking your first rhubarb reminded me to start this thread for 2016

    Share your excitement and tell us when you pick your first strawberry, tomato, new potato, whatever and whether its earlier than last year, 2014 or 2013

                            Radishes - from some old seeds I'd thrown in the chicken run, because I couldn't bring myself to throw them in the bin!

                              Little Grandad's Original Perpetual Spinach (that's its name, honest). Grew for the first time last year, and now v. pleased with the 'perpetual' bit - thinned it out and nipped off the bad leaves in Feb., and it is now producing a good crop of leaves. With this variety, and with the leaves still small, it is possible to cook leaves and stalks together. Later in the year, just cook the leaves, as the stalks can be a bit woody.

                              At this time of year, it's good to have something coming out of the allotment.
