Today, I pulled up a couple of baby beets, some radishes, red salad bowl, little gem, chives, mange tout (again!), and a few nasturtium leaves to make into a light dinner.
just strawberries - but they are goooooood! Haven;t been on here for yonks - I've been bashing away at my new allotment - it was part of an old garden, so starting from scratch - I can't harvest much yet - I have an asparagus bed and rhubarb I can't touch for another year - but am looking forward to my peas, carrots, beans etc

As a newby i am very proud to announce that i had my very first salad made with salad leaves that i have grown!!! It was the best salad i have ever eaten and am very much looking forward to many more.
today i have just picked another 6 turnips for par boiling and freezing,3 raddishes and at long last let the world know that after 3 seasons of trying to grow carrots i have succeeded!
a dozen, not thinnings but proper finger sized carrots im feeling so cool i could be a cucumber.
also found a froggy friend by the raised bed ,so that should take care of slugs as well.
a good put down line to use !

- enough early potatoes to feed the 4 of us
- loads of carrots (grown in a plastic trough - definately doing THAT next year)
- our first brocolli head of the year
I don't know if I'd call it harvesting or just giving up and pulling out all the carrots. We didn't do a very good job planting them in deep enough tilth (it got compacted underneath.... oh, never mind). So, I pulled them all and I'm now munching on a bowl of lots of tiny baby carrots.
Scottish Newbies idea of planting them in a trough appeals to me!
