I harvested just over 2kg's from 2 blackcurrant bushes at the weekend. I have frozen them to use later in the year.

3 more bushes to pick from sometime this week if the weather holds one evening!
Please be patient! Learner gardener - allow plenty of room when passing!

One huge 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

A bowl of peas and my 1st earlies (Vales Emerald) ... complete beginner in the garden so wish...

a) I'd discovered the Potato Polls before I'd bought all my seed potatoes, still I managed a good crop and still have the 2nds and main crops to go

b) I had more patience - had to pod a LOT of peas to get a bowl full - most could've done with a little more time on the plant!  Yummy tho!

Today was a good harvest from my little garden. Lettuce, radish and rocket for lunch. Broad beans and carrots to go with the dinner and some strawberries and black currents for making jam. I love days like these.

Have so far eaten basil, oregano, chives, mint, a couple of new spuds, strawberries, rhubarb swiss chard carrots & spinach. Given away several punnets of goosegogs  :tongue2:.
 
Was going to have a salad tonight, but as my iceberg wasn't big enough, I harvested calabrese, spinach and peas, & demolished that gi-normous Ulster Prince new spud D.D posted on here for me yesterday  :D.
Mash.

First of the new potatoes (no idea of the variety though!).  Boiled with plenty of our apple mint.  Pure white, no marks - and they were gorgeous to boot so i'm well chuffed.  Plenty of mixed salad leaves, young chard, spinach and rocket and a red onion that resembled more of a large red spring onion (very tasty though!).  Plus one (the first) ripe strawberry! :)

First pic is of my first ever Pentland Javelin spuds which started as a furtle and finished up as a dig (1 plant.) Been in exactly 11 weeks and show some signs of eelworm attack but unlike previous varieties it doesn't seem to have slowed them down.

Enough for 2 hungry people or 3 on a diet!

Second pic is of some carrots I harvested yesterday. Not at all impressive you might say except that I found them completely unexpectedly when turning out a tray of "mixed Italian salad leaves" into the compost bin. (Thought some of the leaves tasted a bit funny!)

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

Pulled some finger carrots, a cabbage & small red onion, all made a coleslaw for tea with some PJs, and salad and my first cucumber from the plant still growing indoors  :nowink: (It's up to the ceiling, whilst the ones in the greenhouse are sulking at about 18inches :( )
Now all I'm waiting for is ripe toms :D

Picked a tub of strawberries some for a jam batch tomorrow :)
