A bucket of strawberries! Enough for a couple of deserts of strawberries and cream with the best and biggest of them, and an annual supply of strawberry jam from the remainder!
My Majesty made for him a garden anew in order to present to him vegetables and all beautiful flowers.- Offerings of Thutmose III to Amon-Ra (1500 BCE)
3 Carrots, 3 Carmen cucumbers, a couple of Aubergines, 2 Tromboncino, 3 slightly overgrown courgettes, 3 Super Marmande tomatoes, plus a handful of Floridity and Gardeners Delight tomatoes.
Lots of broad beans (The Sutton), some I've podded and some I'll be cooking whole.
Supermarket potatoes - venezia and gemson grown in MFBs and green waste compost. Probably not the best yeild in the world and the leaves looked miserable but I can't complain considering I didn't exactly look after them very well.
Supermarket charlottes growin in the ground with noting else added apart from some spent compost for earthing up. One of the plants was dying/rotting at the base of the stem so I harvested all the potatoes in that area and they all look great apart from one that was a bit rotten.
Some stuttgarter onions. These were the runts from the bag of sets that I just shoved in some pots of greenwaste compost. They're pretty small but worthwhile growing anyway. I've used that compost now for growing cosmos and snap dragons in planters.
