      For me it's the Cara potatoes, after a few years at this growing lark I got my first potato that could reasonably be baked in its jacket, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

        It's the pumpkins and courgettes that make me smile.

          I just love the squash, they are so lovely, I grew munchkin, they are so cute 😄. I also like zephyr courgette, so pretty with their green tips. As a newbie I am very excited about my sprouts and flower sprouts coming up now. And I really hope to do better next year with my tomatoes next year, hopefully they will make me smile 😊

              Where to start!
              Fresh peas straight out of the pod in October
              Calabrese that just keeps producing more when I was going to chuck it out ages ago
              A red cabbage so big I could hardly lift it and had to use an axe to cut the stem off
              Yellow raspberries growing in nearly total shade
              Carrots that are not riddled with carrot fly
              Where on earth am I going to put ANOTHER punnet of tomatoes?
              Cucumbers in my garden, which I thought was impossible here

              I think the prize has to go to the peppers though, specifically snackbite orange. They are on my landing windowsill, and every time I walk past when there is a ripe one I have to stop and stroke it.

                Tomatoes and cucumbers, beetroot never stop giving, 1st time savoy cabbage, delicious with bacon!Everything and anything(not weeds!) growing down the allotment puts a smile on my face, cause soon the harvest will be on my plate!

                  My first time at growing patty pan squash - from the VSP - every time I spotted another yellow flying saucer amongst the leaves it made me smile, they are so pretty!

                    My tomatoes used to make me smile until I realised I had to do something with them all ...




                    Still getting a crop in October this year and I don't even use a greenhouse. Crazy!

                      My tomatoes and my cabbage

                      But to be honest anything that survived on me or get eaten by slugs make me smile!

                          The weird and wonderful shapes and colours of tomatoes from the VSP have made me smile this year. I'd never heard of the varieties before, and it's been fun watching the lemon trees grow into miniature lemon tomatoes, and the black from tula growing into enormous brown beefsteaks. There was one which we called 'the monster' because it just got bigger and bigger (wish I'd taken a photo now). Even though I don't eat tomatoes myself, they've been the most enjoyable plants to grow this year.

                            Picking raspberries...both red and golden always put a grin on my face!
                            Nothing quite like finding those beautifully coloured jewels hidden amongst the foliage....and then the flavour burst as you squash then in your mouth!....hmmmm....

                            Even better if you manage not to scratch yourself on the little spikes in the process!

                              Lovely to read that your VSP seeds have made you smile.

                                For me it's a close first and second. Second being the first dug new potatoes and the first being the pumpkins!

                                They're storing in the shed now, along with the squash and every time I go in and have a glance of them, all positioned neatly in a row it brings a smile 😊
