Picked my first..............2013

[shepp726]

potatoes, parsley...........boiled spuds, fish and parsley sauce for tea..yum-yum

[veggiechicken]

Still waiting for a..........strawberry, tomato, cucumber, courgette, bean, raspberry etc etc.........
I knew you'd all make me envious

[chickbob]

We had no cucumbers last year, so no chances taken this year AND growing each tomato plant with double stem as experiment to hopefully get huge crop as last year appalling on every level.

beetroot bolted as did the chard, probably too late to sow more now so a sad shortage of beetroot & chilli relish this year.............unless I buy beetroot(wash my mouth out!)

I don't think it's too late to sow either of those- I always have beetroot on the go during summer....

^ Just put some more beetroot in last night meself.

Have already picked in order of arrival; Radishes, Lettuce, Basil, Coriander, Parsley, Spinach, New Potatoes (Kestrel?), Tondo di Toscana Courgette (huge, scopped out and baked with a delicious filling), strata di italia courgette and cucumber(s).

Think we will be dining on courgette and potato based dishes for a while

Any good courgette curry recipes? (I'll use the search box)

An accidental potato

[veggiechicken]

A flurry of blackbirds gave the game away - I have some ripe raspberries (6) - and I've eaten them already!!! Summer has arrived
I've moved a couple of strawberry pots into the GH for safety

[Potstubsdustbins]

So far.....

Salad leaves aplenty, spring onions, radish. Tumbler and Sungold a few.

Load of spuds, calabrese and a couple of courgettes, loads of peas. 1 lone cauliflower.

I was going to pick some strawberries but SWMBO beat me to it, then sat there and ate them with cream whilst I watched.

First goosegogs any day now - Jenny Lind, London, and Langley Gage.

[Pa Snips]

Only strawberries here so far. I've been eating them for a few weeks now and harvested the remaining few last night. Everything else is behind schedule by a couple of months due to the six-month long winter. I would be surprised if I get to eat any other home-grown produce this side of August.

First Peas this week.

[Peppermint]

Radish about a three weeks ago (way ahead of the lettuce which I started taking leaves from last week). I've been taking the odd leaf of the beetroot and turnips to use in stir fries (over the last couple of weeks). Started cropping new potatoes last week (Rocket) and today we used our first cabbage (Greyhound, grown close together to use like spring greens).

Bliss - garden yards rather than air miles :-) Lots of things showing promise - hopefully we'll be inundated in the next couple of weeks. I've told the OH all our veggies have to come from the garden for the rest of the summer :-)

[Thelma Sanders]

first mangetout today Woohoo!

[Potstubsdustbins]

This any good VC todays harvest. Great what a couple of days of warm weather will do.

You lucky so and so I could sit down and eat that lot right now!!
I do have something to boast about today - my first RADISH It shouldn't have left its mother really - it was tiny Maybe tomorrow there'll be one worth bragging about
