Three huge heads of broccoli (filled a carried bag to bursting), yellow as well as green round courgettes (one football sized that I'd missed  ::)), a lovely bag of spuds dug in the rain and a handful of barlotti beans.

Sounds like a nice harvest there Learner :D

If you want to be happy for a short time - get drunk.

If you want to be happy for a long time - fall in love.

If you want to be happy forever - take up gardening!

Thanks Jamie..
I was quite chuffed considering the weather and my lack of time at the moment. Nice to have something to show for the effort and share.  Tastes good too ;)

Today I am digging up my Desiree potatoes - not willingly, but because there is about 50% slug damage to the three plants I have already dug out and I'd rather have half the crop intact than most or all of it damaged.   If they're not too badly damaged I'm cutting out the affected part and making chips of what is left, blanching and freezing them.  Unfortunately, most are very badly damaged and beyond any salvage at all.  Also getting some Calabrese, spring onions and peas.  I had a Cauliflower yesterday and some spinach for a salad.

Had the last of our taters yesterday.



Runners are about 6" so they will be next. Still picking chard, courgettes, salad leaves.

We have the Ambo to go still, they'll be interesting going by what DD has told us in previous years. :)

Yesterday again, about 25 over-wintered white onions grown from sets donated by a friend who had no more space for them in his garden.

My first tomato this year (Sweet Million.)

Not actually quite ready (I was only really trying to get a closer look but it "fell off"!)  ::)

Tasted rubbish!

Rest of them are nowhere near ripe but I'm expecting better things soon (so is a good friend of mine for whom I'm growing them really.)  :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

Couple of red onions to check the size - they're looking close and in fact are. :) Sweet in a simply dressed salad with Crystal Lemon and Little Gem alongside the first Lady Christl of the year and smoked Mackerel. :)
