Harvested exactly two and a half kilos of Pink Fir Apple from a potato growing bag. :) I had planted eight small tubers at two different levels
Any day above ground is a good day.

First picking of runner beans yesterday. They are late this year, but have loads of flowers on.

Picked a huge cabbage which split on touching it, but was nice and clean inside. It nearly crippled me carrying it home.

Woo Hoo  :lol:


 :D :D :D Could be the first and last. Out of 11 plants remaining, it the only one remotely big enough to bear any fruit yet. I've been saying this for some weeks about the plasnt size and time is now getting on. ::)

Peas, a couple of broad beans from first crop - new beans starting to pod now, 2 beetroot, thinned some carrots but big enough to eat, a Webb's Wonder lettuce (good specimen), another large Precoce de Louviers cabbage (plus its own slug eating its way through,  :mad:, and a good crop of Edgecote Purple potatoes from 2 plants.  Will see how they cook.

Picked a lot yesterday - all my onions that had not rotted  :( , some beetroot, and our first carrots - although some were funny shaped, no carrot fly!

Acquired a third of a plot in January 2011 which was extended to three quarters in December 2011. Managed by myself and my 6 year old son.

Picked my first courgette of the season, and remembered years gone by when the neighbours used to hide when they saw me coming armed with spares (wonderful days, oh how we laughed!)  :lol:

Also picked my first Autumn Bliss raspberry (and yes, they were all cut down to the ground last winter!)  :tongue2:

Strange year? Yup!
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

Picked two small courgettes - used them in tonight's casserole. Picked some more beetroot - they are doing really well.

Think I will be able to pick some of my outdoor tomatoes soon - they are just on the turn. Like some other people on here - it is the outdoor toms that are doing best. The indoor ones are very small and green still.

Beat you both to the courgette - yesterday (even though the quote says 26th February 1974.....  :ohmy:). :D Our beetroot isn't doing though and its normally a great crop.  :unsure:
