Dozen Milano turnips but not sure what to do with them, hand full of beetroot, second carrier bag of over wintered broad beans (the Sutton), radishes and handful of peas (onwards). Worth all the back ache, frozen hands, wet feet, runny noses!

Yesterday for tea we had a goodly amount of Charlotte spuds. I have grown them as 2nd Earlies but my 1st Earlies are way behind so I though I would give the Charlottes a go.

They had only been in 12 weeks but were the size of large Hen eggs and tasted lovely. Not quite the New Spud taste that we all crave but close to it.

They way they are growing I am expecting to harvest my PJ 1st Earlies around October  :mad:
99% Organic and 1% Slug Pellets.

Allotment holder since 27th May 2007.

A good handful of salad leaves, 5 raspberries, 1 strawberry, 2 white radish, 1 red radish, a couple of peas and a very small hand full of new potatoes from a 'volunteer plant'.

Quite happy with my first 'real' harvest :)

My first courgette of the year - one better than last year when my plants all turned up their toes. (And some salad leaves and spring onions.)  :D

Yesterday for lunch, I made tabouleh salad with most of the ingredients coming from the garden (lettuce, flat-leaf parsley, curly parsley, mint, spring onions). Only the bulgur wheat and tomatoes cames from the shop :)

Also, one alpine strawberry each for our 2 girls!

Dug some more Charlotte 2nd Earlies up as 1st Earlies today & they were delicious. Mrs FB said they were the best 'New Pots' she had tasted so far this year.
