3 and a half pounds of strawberries, 5 lb blackcurrants, 18 lb gooseberries, 20 lb rhubarb.
And 8lb of broad beans, safely stowed in the freezer. A couple of pounds of strawberries that have been eaten, mainly by my granddaughter.
A bag of chard, and a bag of kale and a handful of peas.

Had a furtle around in the half barrel where I planted out left over potatoes from Christmas time. Picked 6 and we had them with a salad. Dont know the variety, only know they were lovely.
Picked mixed lettuce, rocket and garlic chives as well.
Started harvesting the strawberries and a few raspberries.
Love this time of the year when you feel all the hard work was worthwhile.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

Celtuce - wanted to try this to see if it does have a mix of lettuce and celery, the leaves do taste of lettuce, will try the stalk in my salad tomorrow. Also harvested the charlotte potatoes, some beetroot and also saved the leaves of these for a colleague at work (I will try beet leaf myself from the second harvest), also harvested swiss chard which is starting to bolt, kale and perpetual spinach.
