        • Just some mint (although the onions are looking ready to pull) to go with the Boston new potatoes I bought yesterday (mine not ready yet). The smell of them cooking was delightful.

                        Cukes and courgettes? Are you growing them in a heated greenhouse or did you overwinter them from the previous season? I just can't imagine them growing outside and being harvestible size in June.

                        • I am a first year veggie grower, never grown anything from seed before this year, so I am very proud with my first harvest.



                          I picked a load of peas, some broad beans, french beans and strawberries. We picked the ripe raspberries straight off the canes, so didn't get a shot of those....

                          I also pulled up one of the carrots I planted direct at the end March, just to see how they were getting on..... A perfect shape but very tiny still..... have to be more patient!

                            Nope, no heated greenhouse....

                            Sowed them very early in the year in my quite warm house and left them at it....

                            The cucumber just took off and really flourished as I potted it on (now in a flower bucket)...I then moved the cucumber plant to an unheated greenhouse about 2 months ago and its starting to crop now...they are not huge (bit bigger than pickling size for me, so about 5 inches long) but are very edible.....

                            Courgette plant pretty much the same, except I planted it out direct in the ground about 5 weeks ago, and have been harvesting 7 inch or so baby courgettes for about 1 week now.....

                            Going to leave some now to grow bigger, seeing as weather is supposed to improve....

                            • Mint to go in a salad, lemon balm for tea, chive blossoms to put in vinegar.
                              March is the new winter.

                              • - lots of broad beans
                                - a dozen pea pods
                                - loads of lettuce
                                - some lovely biggish onions ~ they've suddenly swollen up in the last week
