Anyone else with no harvest yet?

[HayleyB]

Had salad leaves, broad beans galore and pulled a few onions to use 'wet', will be eating broadies and peas tonight as there are a few pea pods swollen enough with some mint that's ready - at last - yum.

Strawberries are nearly ready

Not a sausage here either, although we did have the run over from last year (cabbages, kale and PSB) and one cutting of salad leaves before the slugs munched the lot. Everything else is way way behind - it'll be 4 weeks before I can even think of potatoes, the peas aren't anywhere near flowering, and my new salad stuff is only a couple of inches. Slugs have munched the tops off the first pots of carrots and the second sowings are tiny.


btw, this is a thread about NOT having anything to harvest yet, so you lot that have, go shine your fingernails elsewhere

Teee heee... snicker...snigger....laughs behind hand.....

So glad this thread was started - NOT A BITE. The school garden has yeilded a few radishes but thats all. Don't loose faith folks, it WILL be worth the wait.

[Sweepster]

I'm finding this thread most reassuring

[spectrawax8]

It really points up the different micro-climates in this country, all gloating aside (cherries are a week earlier than last year, tee hee) . I remember frost in June in Scotland and getting on my hands and knees to dig up my broad beans to see what was happening they were so slow!

I'm just shining my fingernails.

To all those grapes still awaiting their first pickings, be patient but also try to make notes on when you sowed what. Then next year you can think about whether you could sow a little earlier without to much risk of crop failure. Or whether you could do something different to get an earlier crop.

Tell me about it!

It's been flippin' freezin' here lately, had to put the heating back on

Not break my ankle twice? And not have to entrust the watering and hardening off to someone else!

[Bren In Pots]

By next week hopefully I'll have a bit of lettuce for my sandwiches.

[Two_Sheds]

nothing to harvest?
No, not me.
I'll get me coat then.

[JILLY JACKSON]

Sorry but i;ve been eating lettuce,various varieties for a while,small cucumber(indoor grown) radish,spring onions,cabbage,small carrots,had new potatoes from a barrel i put in late last year.Peas for the last two days as well,but we are very far south.

[selfraising]

There quite clearly is a bit of a divide as far as the weather is concerned. Down here I have harvested cos lettuce, mixed salad leaf, spring onions, baby beetroot, several radishes, turnips and today yellowstone carrots. Sorry guys but I'm sure the wait will be worth it

[Alison Adams]

Nothing here either, our season starts late and even then we were late getting going as its a new plot and wasnt ready in time :-( Even worse, there are two of my absolute favourites we could have eaten but as they are in their first year are being left to establish - asparagus and rhubarb. This time next year, I am hoping for a different story...
