Strawberries here too, just a couple, one for me, one for the wife. Plants haven`t had any protection.
I`m left handed, what`s your excuse?

Today picked first lettuce, raddish and small spring onions, and some asparagus....
I used to work in a helium gas factory, but I walked out, no one talks to me like that.

For the first time since starting my asparagus bed about 7 years ago I'm actually beginning to get a bit fed up of eating it every day (for those just setting theirs up you can take that as words of encouragement if you like!)  :unsure:  :)
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

Looking at the pathetic spindly ferns on mine its hard to imagine I'll get a meal off them let alone have chance to get sick of them !

Yet more salad today and a few chard leaves - noticed a few strawberries are on the turn too  :D

4 red + 4 light pink strawberries were taken home by my 5-years-old son, he could not wait anymore.

also had been twisting leafs off my lettuce plants several times...in the meantime, not losing the plants (a tip given by allotment neighbour).
Rain at night, sunshine all day long!

Not really this years harvest but have just found a bunch of red onions hanging in the garage from last year  -  hidden by the OH's junk.  Still feel solid
