First pic is of my first ever Pentland Javelin spuds

... I thought you had sand not soil JayG ? Looking at that Im even more depressed about the state of mine.

A secret just between the two of us Lardman; if you look to the right of the potato pic you can see my sorry-looking, anaemic sweetcorn (this year has been even more challenging for me than the last few, and that's saying something!)  :wacko:
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

A couple of pounds of new potatoes, about a pound of strawberries and raspberries, a pound and a half of rhubarb, seven smallish beetroot and two and a half pounds of gooseberries.  I love June!

Raspberries, strawberries and goosegogs, none of which made it home.  Two huge little gem lettuce and a couple of Saladin lettuce.  Peas are a disaster this year so far, Broad Beans just starting to fatten up.

Sticks of rhuhbarb and a milan purple top turnip about the size of small tennis ball
All the way from my allotment in beautiful Derbyshire. I'm in year 3 of my allotment and wish I'd caught the bug years ago, things growing from strength to strength

Harvested from my container grown spuds 16 delicious Charlotte potatoes.

Also tried some spinach for the first time.  :tongue2: :tongue2: :tongue2: I need to try a few recipes I think!
Please be patient! Learner gardener - allow plenty of room when passing!

today I have been mostly harvesting rain
small, Welsh and almost certainly bonkers, but can be tamed with Talisker, if required

Got in an hour before it started to rain so just managed to grab a few raspberries and broad beans before rain stopped play
