Fantastic fresh-from-the garden lunch yesterday:

half a dozen yellow tomatoes, the first cucmber of the year (and YUM! is it good or what?!) and an orange chilli finely chopped into some home-made hummus with home-made bread

 8)

I enjoyed my first crop of beetroot yesterday, very tasty eating home grown vegetables. Waiting now for my potatoes to finish flowering. ::).

Sounds good lazza, I had a garden lunch yesterday too; I had a garlic and coriander naan bread left over so I sliced some of my big red ribbed toms over it, drizzled with olive oil, a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper and quick dash of balsamic vinigar - my it was soooo good!

Today I have harvested yellow dwarf beans, yellow & green courgette and spinach and ruby chard to add to my harvested red onions, sungold toms and bought mushrooms to make a stir fry pasta dinner tonight - yum!

Btw tim 1965, some say, like me, that you should pinch off the pot flowers when they appear to encourage that same energy into more crop production.  Anyway thats what we do - glad your beets were tasty.

Just some more beans today. There are a couple of cucumbers ready, but it ain't salad weather.

A work colleague kindly gave me a cos lettuce, some radish and a couple of pounds of tomatoes. Very kind, but he knows I grow what I can myself! :lol:

Maybe I should give him some beans in return............................... :D

Raspberries, blackberries, purple French beans, White Lady runners, Kestrel spuds, Marketmore cucumbers, green and yellow courgettes and a couple of these - Golden Nugget squash.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Yesterday I "picked up" lots of potatoes (mixed varieties) all very nicely (?) unearthed by the foxes and left to go green dry in the sunshine.

I wish the varmints would work more methodically rather than fiddle around with all 5 rows at once.  >:(
If they dug up a couple of plants at a time it would be more helpful.  :blink:

I posted in the no courgette thread, but they went in the omelette which was already on the go.  :) That's 4 courgettes in total. I might pick and photograph the ceremonial tomato today.  ::) Well I don't want anything to chomp it before you all see it.  :ohmy:

Four mini-munch cucumbers (after a slow start they are really doing well) a couple of tomatoes, lots of spring onions, a couple of beets and two courgettes. Picked a leek yesterday for OH's favourite soup. Just need a bit more sunshine to encourage those toms to ripen.

Even more salad leaves. However a gap in my succession sowing means the last lot of radishes are done and the next lot are not quite swelled enough yet...

With all this talk of garlic, although I have been meaning to  ::), I've pulled the remainder of the over-wintered garlic which I had been using straight from the ground as and when. These have grown to a good size now, so better late than never. I'll store these and finish up the spring planted ones, whose results haven't impressed me that much at all, although I just pulled two which had gone over and they were huge.  :nowink:
