wow, looks really impressive. My spuds look like they are just starting to flower so fingers crossed for tatties soon, so far this year I have only managed lettuce, cress, chives and basil  ;)

Only?  That's not a bad start at all especially considering the up & down back-to-front weather we've had this season.

I've managed strawberries, broad beans and one lot of beetroot and I've had my plots for ages.  ::)

Be patient.  ;)

I've just lifted three of my pentland javelin spud plants. They've only been in ten weeks but I was getting curious and I have another 31 left plus 37 lady chrystl out of my first earlies.

I was quite pleased as I found 21 hens egg sized spuds. Some of them will be in the steamer shortly together with a few fresh cabbage leaves.

So far: rhubarb, radish, lettuce, green garlic, spinach, peas, broad beans, charlotte potatoes, parsley, mint, coriander and strawberries. the first lot (Christne and Flamenco) picked 2 weeks ago were quite tart but last nights bowl full were really sweet and fragrent. *sigh* I LOVE gardening!

My parsley and coriander are barely scraping past the cotyledon leaf stage. Planted in April as usual - normal conditions, time etc. :(

The first small early parsley sowing was up and running, but the ones sown later are really sulking, like yours are.

Trouble is that there's not much left of the first lot :(
