        • At LAST I have harvested something this year! Nothing earlier, partly due to the late season, and partly to bad planning on my part, but the kale plants are now just about big enough to bear the removal of a leaf or two, so I did remove some, and they're now in the fridge. I'll be getting the first courgettes in a few days, as well: at the allotment this morning, the first flowers were open. All but one were female, so I removed the one male flower and hand-pollenated all the females. The variety in question, 'Zucchini' according to the seed-packet, although that's just the Italian and American word for courgettes in general, has relatively large fruit before pollenation, so if the worst comes to the worst and you can't pollenate a female flower, you can remove the fruit and use it as a baby courgette. I did that a few times last year.
          My early spuds ('Rocket') will be ready soon, too.

            • Potatoes, lettuce, calabrese and purple podded peas. With the exception of the lettuce, the rest are for dinner.

                  Caught mine before the blackfly arrived Stella. You should remove the tops from your plants, but I wouldn't suggest eating the blackfly infested ones.

                        • Lots of lettuce (Attractie/Foglio/Wonder of four seasons), Radish (scarlet globe) Spinach (Matador), Pak Choi (Shanghai) and some wonderfully tasty Peas (Kelvedon Wonder).

                          Picked up some Moroccan spiced salad dressing and eggs and had me a tasty fat omelette. I do wish I kept Chickens...

                            • My first lot of feverfew flowers are drying so I can store them for using in tea when there are no fresh ones available.
                              When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it.
                              If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

                              • Onions very similar to yours Trip and loads of lovely fat bulbs of garlic. Well ok, they're not very fat, but much, much better than last year. Mmm what to put in the empty shady bed now?
