Today I harvested 2022….

[bramble]

Picked my first broad beans today.
The Sutton and Buynards Exhibition.
I sowed these in pots last autumn in pots.
Kept them in the cold greenhouse over the winter.

I also harvested my first broad beans, along with 3 globe artichokes and a bag of elderflower (first batch of cordial made!)

First decent picking of broad beans and peas yesterday (ie ones that made it home rather than being eaten on the plot.. )

[Bren In Pots]

Yesterday rhubarb, mixed lettuce, basil, chives and radishes.

[Mr Bones]

Spring onions, lettuce and coriander.

I have picked 4 broad beans and 4 pea pods (the peas are the first that are ready). The broad beans are a bit of an experiment as I am not yet sure how to judge when they are ready but as we prefer them double podded if at all large, I thought maybe we might manage the younger ones whole.

More rhubarb for me.

[Bren In Pots]

Rhubarb that I’m roasting along with some orange portion up and freeze for my breakfast oatmeal.
Mixed lettuce basil and radishes for lunch.
Lastly mint and chives for a yoghurt dip.

[Mr Bones]

Wet garlic (a couple that were starting with white rot), asparagus, broad beans and a handful of peas.

[ameno]

The first strawberries.

The first strawberries.

Always exciting! Have lots of flowers and a few fruits forming but got a while to wait yet.

Broad beans, spring greens and a few peas.
The first strawberry from the gh is almost ready. It is checked hourly.

I was surprised by how early they ripened this year, too. I actually had my first single fruit about 5 days ago; this was just the first time I had enough for a proper portion (for one person, admittedly).
They're just outside in the ground at my allotment, not in a greenhouse or anything. Although my allotment is quite a sun trap.
