    we've had: about 6 mangetout, a few radishes, a punnet of raspberries, a load of spinach ready to be picked (haven't picked it yet but it's ready), 8 red lettuces ready to be cut but still growing happily, little gems not far behind.

    There's lots of dandelion leaves in the lawn too

    The snails/slugs have had 5 courgette plants, but 2 have been rescued and put in the "fortress" and are doing well now.

    I have 9 tomato plants some with fruit now doing well.

        hmmm, good question.

        What was first??? erm...

        salad bowl lettuce in April, I think.

        during May there was leaf beet, beetroot, broad beans, early potatoes, and young carrots.
        June brought more of the above then the first cabbage and cauliflower, kale, calabrese, peas and strawberries.
        July is going well - more brassicas, potatoes, roots, cucumbers, courgettes, garlic, shallots, first tomatoes.

        I don't grow much of each, but I try to do several sowings so it's not all over in one go.

        My only glut is of cucumbers, but I am expecting a big tomato crop this year too (fingers' crossed, please!)

                Raspberries, strawberries, red currants, black currants, gooseberries, lettuce (several varieties), peas, mange tout, broad beans, radish, herbs of various varieties, cauliflower and my first chilli the other day! Think that's it but could be wrong. Loads of toms and cucumbers coming, runner and French beans flowering, courgettes flowering and first ones about ready to harvest, peppers forming, aubergines flowering and loads more peas and salad stuff coming on well. If it ever stops raining when I'm not in work, I'll get out there and investigate how the sweetcorn, tomatillo and squashes are getting on, see if they are still swimming.

                Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                Which one are you and is it how you want to be?
