Maybe peeps can sow a bit earlier next year? I have earlier things to harvest this year, as I got more confident about what I was doing
Or get a mini greenhouse to get things even earlier?
Just a thought, I am not going to tell you what we have harvested so far ths year. It's on the harvesting thread instead
You WILL all be there soon

I was smugly not going to post on this thread as even tho it's not much yet, I had two gi-normous strawberries ripening in the garden. May not sound much, but as a newbie, I have been proudly boasting about them to all and sundry. Put the camera on charge this morning ready to take some photos of my first fruits of my labour (pardon the pun) and just got home from work and.. you've guessed it.. they're gorn!! I've been burgled!!
I'm a big fan of CSI so I've been doing the forensic bit and narrowed the list of suspects down to either a bird (tell-tale white blobs all round the patch) or the oh-so cheeky rat (real rat, not the rat-dog belonging to yougest son) who thinks it's hilarious to watch me putting down the rat poison and then chomps the grass round it. Even saw it chasing a magpie round the lawn the other day! Oh the joys of living next wasteland!
I am gutted - the strawbs were so red, so big, so juicy, glistening in the morning dew...
Off to search ebay now for landmines, booby traps and blunderbusses...God made rainy days, so gardeners could get their housework done

Me neither!
Hands up for me too. Despite my daily vigil and much pacing up and down staring at my veggie patch, I still have NOTHING ready to harvest. I have a few signs that things are on their way but I am waiting extremely impatiently too . I am very relieved to learn that it's not just me .

Nothing is ready for me yet either.
I have had a furtle (sp) at one of the potatoes in a pot but nothing <sigh>
My lettuce didnt work so I've re planted some more seeds which are now doing something but they are only tiny.
My rhubard is tiny, my beans are just flowering, my poor peppers have been tipped out of pots by gales and are still catching up, my cucumbers got fried before they were 4 inches tall in an overheated greenhouse and everything seems to be way off being ready.
my potatoes are flowering though so there is some hope.
I'm off on holiday in 3 weeks so my neighbours will probably get my first crop of something.
I'm just praying that she looks after my precious garden so that its all blooming and ready to pick when I get home from holidays. If I come home to it all wilted and dead I will chuck myself off the shed roof!
I have got a seeping hose to put in so all may not be too lost if she misses a few waterings.
Next year I (hopefully) will be more knowledgeable so will plant some things early.Last edited by NewbieGardenerRow; 16-06-2009, 05:03 PM.Its nice to be important but its more important to be nice

We're regularly eating lettuce and radish. Just started eating spring onions, discovered none of us like chickory. New spuds are ready. Had a cabbage at the weekend too. Kale is ready, calabrese not far behind. Peas won't be long either.
There is an awful lot that's nowhere near ready though

My harvest so far ...
So far I've had haricot beans, runner beans, cauliflower, beetroot, potatoes, lettuce, radishes, carrots, broccoli. raspberries, red currants, white currants and cherries. But I was house-sitting for a friend so it all needed to be picked!
Back on my own patch I've got radishes (who hasn't!), lettuces and maybe the beetroot will be ready in a week or two.

......well....not quite, I have nothing to harvest for some time as my time-management skills are poor! Peas are about 4inches tall, my scalloped shaped squash only just planted in its bed and showing the tiniest of flower buds! Tom only in flower pak choi, choy sum, radishes just about germinated, sweetcon not as tall as the grass.......need I go on?
We have had harvests though.....Easter sown spinach and mix chinese veg all chomped about a week ago now - came with the radishes. Am now impatiently pacing the waiting room!
