Thanks Sara

They went mad and wild when growing. Please with them as all the other stuff I was growing never worried about them!!

2 courgettes

Zephyr, had them in a prawn pasta - yum!

[muddled]

Redcurrants!

only picked 2 ounces but now that I've started my youngest will embark on daily 'raids' after school and they'll be snaffled the second they ripen

[bearded bloke]

Raspberries 1 1/2 pints of them I feel cranakin for pud' might be occuring tonight

[Plumed90]

My first 3 potatoe plants provided around 10 potatoes each. 45 more to go! 5 of the 12 courgettes and loads more strawbs!

Feeling pretty happy for my first ever allotment with a horsetail infestation

[Mrs Bee]

2 carrier bags of broad beans, and a few strawberries.

[elleme]

A handful of whitecurrants. They could do with a little longer as they were slightly tart, but still yummy.

homegrown rocket - I'm not normally a big fan but thought I'd try it homegrown and it was lovely!

[Lumpy]

Pulled all my garlic including the Elephant.

The normal garlic is not as big as I would have hoped for but what did I expect when it has spent all it's growing life in plastic washing up bowls.

I am glad I did as it was so wet I think that in a few days time rot might have set in.

I now stink but at least I'm safe from vampires!

I picked my first french beans and first cauliflower of the season today.

Also dug up my garlic. Not as good as last year, I blame the rust!

The way things are going Martin it'll be 2017 before I pick my 1st French Bean...............

The way things are going Martin it'll be 2017 before I pick my 1st French Bean...............

Feeling that one myself Bigmally

[Small pumpkin]

Picked my first French beans and first parsnips ( just thinning out, still edible size ) and courgettes

[Martin H]

Today I dug up my first Charlotte potato plant of the season. Looks like a bigger yield than last year, so I'm very happy!

[elleme]

Picked a few cherries, although it was really early and they were only just ripe enough. As the tree was inherited on my allotment I didn't know what type of cherry it was. The cherries were lovely straight off the tree so I guess they're sweet ones!
