The last of the strawberries the rest look like they're beginning to rot and they're not even turning red yet.

All I have managed to do today is pot on some winter cabbages. It has been pouring most of the day and we desperately need to get to our allotment. Tomorrow shpuld be dry. It is such a depressing summer, especially for veg growing. Everything is rotting or being eaten by slugs !!! Fed up big time

An absolutely brilliant day yesterday. After weeks of watching with angst, debating if we would every get anything after frost until mid June, and cold temperatures for months. we harvested and provided all the veggies for our evening meal
We gathered in:
Premier new potatoes
Foremost new potatoes
4 baby carrots
Some broad beans (in their pods to steam)
Spinach
Perpetual spinach
Chard
Shallots
5 red strawberries and 4 white strawberries (from the cold frame).
Life is good (and the food very tasty!)
I also dug up the garlic - set some out to dry and chopped the rest for the storing in the freezer.
There's no going back now. We are well and truly hooked on growing our own

The usual spuds, lettuce, onions, peas, plus the first half dozen French beans
