For lunch landcress in my sandwiches and a couple of radishes, and my first little pod of peas : ) For dinner a few curly kale leaves (1 per each of the bigger plants) and a big fat pak choi in a chinese stir-fry veg. And the second and third lot of potatoes from the bags on the patio to make some space. Looking foward to those tomorrow.

Today I picked some CCA lettuce - really lovely.
Also, the first of the broad beans - there were loads of big, long pods but the beans were few. However, they went in the risotto, along with some tiny carrot thinnings (sowed too thickly again) and a few spring onions which were chopped and stirred through at the end.
These broad beans were from four plants which were sown and put outside very (too) early. So even though the return doesn't seem much (30 beans), after all I only put down 4 beans, so that's 7and a half times the investment, or a profit of 750%.
I think that's right, but if not maybe some mathematical bods will correct me.
Anyway, the meal was gorgeous, all the better for the homegrown input.My hopes are not always realized but I always hope (Ovid)

my first post
Hi everyone,
been lurking for a while, but am so pleased with my little plot that I wanted to tell you all what I have managed to harvest. Mixed salad leaves, radish,
and rocket for a salad, and the first few peas which never made it to the kitchen.
I plan to make some rhubard chutney this evening, so will pull some up later on today, along with some of my monster chard and coriander which will go in my sweet potato chilli for dinner tonight.

My 1st Harvest post
Have been harvesting calabrese that I bought as plantlets that were ravaged by pigeons prior to covering. Truly delicious. It was my first year for these and I'm inspired to have another go. I've also been harvesting strawberries, rhubarb and pointed cabbages. Also chard which I've used in stir fries and in a frittata. On the weekend I made 3+ liters of blackcurrant jam (3 bushes are too many!). Tonight I'll pick my first courgettes for adding to a Thai Green Chicken Curry.
