    • My first home grown potatoes. International Kidney that weren't showing any signs of flowering so had a dig round and hey presto lovely potatoes.

      • Today is relatively low on home grown produce - onions and stored garlic in the lazy lamb chops dinner (decent chunks of tomatoes, courgettes, peppers, onions, mushrooms, whole cloves garlic (about 6 smallies), (no mangetout to add today), rest of the packet of baby potatoes, and 2 lamb chops, all sprinkled with a little dried rosemary and oregano, dusting of salt and dash of olive oil, give a shake and toss into the oven this morning - set on the timer for 40 mins at 180 degrees to be ready 10 mins after we get in tonight - nice lazy friday night dish).

        No salad today either, as I am being bold for Friday!!

        • At lottie by 6am... harvesting in full swing here!
          Not all strictly today, but over this week I have harvested:

          The rest of the Acquadulce BBs, most now frozen
          loads of Little marvel peas
          Spinach
          Perpetual spinach
          Paris Market carrots
          the Garlic
          Autumn planted shallots

          Little gem lettuces
          courgettes
          8 plants of Julliette potatoes
          6 volunteer plants of swift potatoes
          8 artichokes
          3 french beans!...not a great success so far this year the beans)
          1 Retsina cucumber
          A few Bolthardy beetroot

          A few raspberries and blackcurrants
          Started on redcurrants...oh, just so many to pick and jelly its frightening.

          • 3 or 4 dinners' worth of Lady Crystl spuds, a good double portion of mangetout peas and some Swiss chard. That's dinner sorted!

                        • Here in NW England the seasons are a bit behind those indicated in the books and magazines I also took over a neglected plot, but I've been there this morning to continue digging and weeding I harvested a sheet of corrugated asbestos, two concrete blocks, and many, many, dandelions

                          But what I have planted is growing!

                          • Bumper harvest for me today; potatoes, turnips, mange tout, cucumbers, strawberries, raspberries and one tomato (which actually fell off the plant a couple of days ago, but has ripened and is ready to eat today) .

                            • Yes, not too bad today. Got a cabbage (this time left the stalk in the ground to try and get another smaller one off it), lettuce, cup of strawberries, rocket, few spinach leaves, quite a few broad beans and peas and a red onion.

                              • Harvested a couple of spuds, couple of carrots, couple of (still small) broad beans and (still small also) purple podded mange tout. Hopefully enough there to make something of. Tempted to go harvest a shallot but not sure if you can use them straight away.
                                Happy Gardening,
