  • A huge Romaine lettuce. I've harvested some leaves before but this is the first whole one this year. It was very nice with our dinner.
    Also two strawberries, which went straight into my mouth. Not many are making it in the house so far.

                • Yesterday, raspberries although not up to much and the last of the strawberries, 61 pounds in all. The green leaves on the head may now start to subside!!!

                            • More strawberries, raspberries, tayberries, gooseberries and redcurrants.

                              Also harvested a couple of cucumbers, some little gem lettuce to thin out and the most gorgeous looking (and tasting) radishes I think I've ever grown.


                              Oh, plus a couple of cherry toms

                              • Harvested bolting Tatsoi and Maruba Santoh Pak Choi.

                                The tatsoi was delicious, the bolting stem was the best.

                                Harvested 2 of the biggest pak choi's because they were becoming like poops with flies and all sorts of pests on them so i'd rather eat them than let the insects eat them. I can see why the big ones attracted them more... the stem parts were sweet like nappa cabbage once cooked. The leaves were like a mild rocket and best eaten raw like lettuce tbh. They had grown unbothered throughout june when it was cold but now it has warmed up i've never seen such a variety of pests on them! As big as they look, once cooked they wilt down considerably and i ate 1 pak choi and 2 tatsoi's for one meal.

                                Everything else is bolting so lots more to harvest and enjoy.
