Mother in law brought back radish, lettuces and rhubarb
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

Tonights tea was a Fish Finger Salad (give it a go its lovely)

Cut and come again lettuce mixed in the packet before sowing with Rocket,  which is really really nice.

But the absolute star of the show was my Lady Chsitl new potatoes, which were gorgeous. I had to lift three plants to get enough for a generous meal for two and the spuds were about the size of satsumas.

This was my first new pots from the ground and they were planted just over 12 weeks ago so I would have hoped for a better yield.

Yield  4 / 10
Taste 9 /10

Mrs FB who doesn't  give praise out easily said the LC;s were perfect.

Lettuce, radish and spring onions for lunch, piled high on fresh crusty home baked bread with just a little extra mature cheddar.  :tongue2: Its not a proper sandwich if you don't have to worry that it wont fit in your mouth.  :D

Couple of carrots from the greenhouse they're a decent size now, its a shame there are only a few left.  :( Chard and beetroot. All went very nicely with tonights cottage pie.

Yesterday I harvested...

a bowl of yummy strawberries
broad beans
the first of the peas.
2 mangetout pods (which didn't make it home  :D)
a single raspberry (from my autumn canes?!)

Had a furtle around the Charlotte potatoes that have been in for 12 weeks-might pop by the plot after work to get some for dinner tonight  :)

Today's gooseberry harvest, about 3/4 of one of the 3 bushes:

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

First time of trying to attach a picture - hope it works ok!

First time ive grown mangetout - this is half a row since it was last picked just 2 days ago - brilliant!!!

First spuds of the year (2 plants)

Ive never grown or eaten turnips (was given some free seed so worth a try!)

Gonna go with some sausages and gravy for tea

Ask the black devil dog!!!!! Seriously though, I think they are Charlotte. I got two small packs of seed, think the others were Arran Pilot...maybe. I thought the labels were out of range of the dog, and that I would remember what was what anyway.....yeah, right!  :lol:These are the flowers of the container ones (Pilot?)

I think that's an Arran Pilot flower - but that's what you said isn't it - rather than Charlotte, which is a bit paler in colour. :)
