I'm regularly harvesting salad leaves now, which is lovely - and I've got more seedlings coming on, so hoping the bounty will continue.
I inadvertently harvested a potato the other day. This happened when I was re-earthing up some of my potato plants which had been battered by rain and strong winds. As I was pushing the earth back around one of them (with my hands) an egg-sized potato rolled out of the ground! It's currently sitting proudly in my fruit bowl.

Oops! I didn't realise that could happen, snowdrops. I've put the potato away in my veggie box now.

& gifted from plot neighbour,radish,broad beans & 2 artichoke heads(these to try- how do you eat / prepare them?)

2 artichoke heads(these to try- how do you eat / prepare them?)

What a nice gift    I have been eating mine for a few weeks now and they are delicious.  It is a bit of a ritual to eat them, but very enjoyable for a lazy, messy, hands-on lunch.  Think eating prawns out the shell or something similar and have some paper towel to wipe your fingers on standby

Get a pan of boiling water ready with a generous squeeze of lemon juice in it as they discolour fast.  Trim the stem and pull off the very tough leaves at the base.  Simmer until you can just pierce through the base part with a knife.

To eat, you pull off the leaves one by one.  The first ones will just have a tiny bite of tender flesh at the base which you pull off the leaf with your teeth, or bite right through if it is soft enough.  As you get further in you get a bigger and bigger bite.

In the middle is a fluffy thistle-like bit that you need to scrape out with a teaspoon.  Now you just have the heart, which is the base where all the leaves were attached and you can eat the lot 

Dip into melted butter or salad dressing as you eat if you want a quick fix.  I think the proper accompaniment is hollandaise sauce if you want to push the boat out.
