          • Just been snipping from the plants on the bedroom windowsill and now have a big bag of basil for the freezer and the whole bedroom smells delightful. Himself is not going to like it, but tough.

                • I've been eating raspberries as & when they are ripened.

                  Today I've actually picked 10 mange tout for tea (I've been nibbling whilst watering upto today) and I cut my first leaves of Kale, very nice too.

                  Looks like tomatoes will be next when they grow/ripen.

                    • Today I harvested 2 new potatoes, entirely by accident. After putting up some better support wires for a wisteria and reattaching it to the wall, I decided to weed the border it had been slumped on for the last few weeks. There was a plant that looked kind of like a potato plant, so I tentatively lifted it up, and indeed there were 2 little potatoes of edible size, and 4 or 5 teeny tiny little ones.

                      I have absolutely no idea how the plant got there, it certainly hasn't been used as a veg plot for the 3 years we've been here, and didn't look like it had before then either. I also don't know how a stray potato, or even potato peeling, could have been discarded there at any point.

                      It's quite exciting, but also a bit depressing that one of my only successes so far has been a freak chance.

                          • New potatoes, garlic, shallot scapes, yellow pak choi, mizuma, and beetroot leaves. We've gone from worrying about whether we will have a crop at all to a wealth of lovely fresh food (well enough for the two of us )

                            • Broad beans, but they're for my neighbour this time, I can do without the faff.
