Mainly lettuce and strawberries at the moment, We have had a few radish that I filled space with, but am patiently waiting for the onions,parsnips, carrots, beets, raspberries, potatoes,broccoli, beans and peas..  and cabbage and leeks much later on.

I feel very behind with some of you eating peas and beans already, my dwarf french beans are only 8" or so.. peas are catching up a bit now, about 2/3 fts high now.
Lots of herbs have been eaten too, chives, mint, thyme and rosmary.

chillis (from an overwintered plant I grew last year)

Mmm ... I'd like to try that.  Can you please post details?  container size / light / feed / water etc

[fatgit]

Rocket, Rocket, Rocket, Rocket...... think I overdid the Rocket they're turning into the equivalent of Courgettes last year
Radishes
Spring Onions (only 5 of the first batch germinated :/)
Half a dozen lettuce
Corriander
Parsley
Mint
Basil
Baby Carrots

Everything else will be late due to the first germinations dropping dead due to me not being able to water them for six weeks, or going into the ground/pots weeks late.

[bayleaf]

New potatoes
Lettuce
Radishes
Strawberries
Broad beans

Nothing too exotic but still taste good.

I ate some rocket whilst thinning out my lettuces, then found slug pellets on my fingers so I've eaten that too (organic though, and I'm not dead yet)
You leave swedes  and parsnips till after a frost as the cold makes the plant release sugar for energy.

[WG.]

i have heard that before but not sure why you have to leave the parsnips till after the first frost/

BG has it right.  Parsnips build up a store of starches to sustain the root through the winter.  The starches are not particularly tasty.  Only after a few frosts does the parsnip start to convert the starches into sugars giving it the flavour we all know and (some of us) love.

Similarly swedes.

If you want to eat them sooner, you can simulate frosts by putting into freezer (unwashed) for an hour.  Then out.  Repeat 3 or 4 times.
