Today I Mostly Harvested......

[PyreneesPlot]

Yesterday first broad beans - today they have developed chocolate spot.
Today first courgettes and first cucumber. Latter should have been a gherkin but was hiding. Oops.
Mangetout and salad leaves.

[Helgalush]

Ripe strawberries from the garden.
Time from picking to being in my mouth: about 5 seconds.

[susieq100]

Strawberries. First new potatoes - about to have them for supper!

Wild rocket. Anyone grow wild rocket and notice how much more peppery it seems than shop bought rocket? More of a burn.

Gave into temptation and picked and ate my first ripe tomato - its was scrummy! Although not so sure the variety is aptly named sweet millions more like sweet 2 or 3! I suppose it's down to this manky weather.

In my home made cut-and-come-again mix I'd actually mistaken my mustard red frills for wild rocket*, so when I noticed the actual wild rocket growing in there it seemed quite mild in comparison. Both still have more burn than store bought rocket. The mustard had a fantastic fieriness to it, I couldn't get enough. Need to sow some more, it would be great in sandwiches, would give a fantastic kick. I think I have a new favourite salad leaf, and would strongly recommend it to anyone who likes a bit of heat in their salad mix.


* my mistake was mainly because I'd misremember which mustard I'd bought, and thought it was giant red, rather than red frills (due mainly to Chiltern listing them in different sections of their catalogue, so giant red was the only one I could find when trying to look up what I'd sown), so wild rocket was my best guess for what these crazy wild frilly leaves were.
