First potatoes lifted - very pleased with size and quantity (Arran Pilot)  :happy:

A single lettuce
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

I bet you'll enjoy it far more than one from the supermarket.  ;)

Loads of raspberries, they don't seem to travel very well so I have to eat them all on the plot  :)

I Tried lifting my Arran Pilot earlies three weeks ago and there was very little spuds to be found, I think this was probably down to the frost getting them early May.
Anyway, tried again yesterday and was surprised at the crop I got... the basket is from 3 plants  :D
Pulled some Spring Onions while I was at it.... they taste GREAT!!!  :D :D

hi Gembob - mine are in full flower at the moment
small, Welsh and almost certainly bonkers, but can be tamed with Talisker, if required

Some plants have, but they are not the spectacular flowers of some varieties.

Check under the ground to see what's happening as there mght be some decent spuds there  :)

Spuds, courgettes, salad leaves, spring onions, ground cress, garlic and another handful of peas.

 The broad beans have failed completely this year, lovely strong plants but the mass of flowers just went black and shrivelled. :( Pulled them out to make way for tomatoes.

1 medium courgettes and 2 small ones, roasted with olive oil, home grown thyme, salt and pepper and accompanied by roast chicken, roast potatoes and steamed carrots...the courgettes were the highlight :)

3 courgettes, potatoes (can't remember what type), strawberries (enough for 4 lots of strawberries and ice cream) and 6 chillis.  Continous rocket/cress/ lettuce for sarnies.
