Instant gratification.........in the fruit & veg dept!

Another vote for peas, we get about half a plateful in he kitchen each year, and a big pile of pods where the kids have been helping themselves (not bad now that they're teenagers!)

Picked my first lot of parsnips and at around a foot long I'm well chuffed

Peas if I get the chance, have to be quick though they are SWMBO's favourite. Today it was Sungold tomatoes............quite a few Sungold tomatoes........

I've gone right off cooked peas now...really only eat them fresh on the plot.
Fruit, nasturtiums...all the usual.

Blackberries though, are the absolute best for me and they're starting to come ready just about now!

And I've noticed that a handful of berries, the odd leaf and flower...can make me feel pretty full. If I could just live on my plot I'd have a figure like Kate Moss

I'm rather put off things straight out of the garden when I see next door's cat spraying. Peas are safe and I eat loads of them straight from the pod. I grow strawberries on shelves and I will eat those, and blueberries from the fruit cage are ok but everything else goes under the tap here.

Yeah mixed with horse radish on my salad

Ate my first sweet-potato leaf today!

edit: I forgot that my latest nibble is radish seed pods. Grown for the first time this year because I let some radishes go a bit over and remembered reading on here that people eat them. Not sure who to thank exactly but this is a great nibblers titbit. Plus the flowers are lovely and loved by bees, hoverflies and (cabbage white!!) butterflies.
