I don't have any pictures but I've had loads of green beans, strawberries, raspberries, courgettes and lettuce which I'm chuffed to bits about. Am definitely hooked now, already thinking about what I'd like to do next year!!
Attempting to grow things in my garden for the first time ever!

I left the courgettes on my front wall in the hope that someone will take them!

Approx 4 - 5lbs of toms over the last two days, they taste lovely too. They've really gone mad in the last week!

WOW, what lovely pics of your crops!

Today some more cherry toms before I dug the rest of the tom plants up from blight  :( and a marrow which I am going to use with the green, good toms to make Hugh F-W seasonal chutney (a friend has given me some bramley apples to go in it too!).

Going to take some sweetcorn cobs off tonight to go on the side with homemade pizza and I recommend if anyone is growing yellow courgettes - harvest a few when they are small, slice them thinly lengthways and drape them on pizza raw when cooking - delicious!  Might take up one of the few spud plants up too for a bit of potato salad - greedy guzzlers we are! :tongue2:

Dinner tonight
« Reply #38 on: August 25, 2009, 21:46 »
I know this is blatant showing off but it was just brilliant providing most of dinner tonight from the plot and watching my family really enjoy a hearty meal  :D

Desiree roasties
Fresh peas shelled by my 3 yr old (with a little help from Grandma), really sweet and juicy
Baby Leeks
and Parnsips that were to die for, even though I do say so myself.

Took my dad to see the plot and we were chuntering about how big the parsnip tops were and surmising about what might be lurking beneath.  "Have a furtle," says my dad.  So I did and was astounded at the size of the first one I pulled "Hope I haven't just pulled up what could have been my prize winning parsnip!" I replied, incredulous at the size of the beast on the end of the leaves :D

They seem to be a really decent size already.  I'm still learning.........I thought I wouldn't be harvesting them until November...?  And something about leaving them in the ground when it's frosty to sweeten them keeps ringing a bell....?  I think mine might be about 3 feet long by November :blink: :lol:  (hopefully...)
 :D

Picked a small squash for roasting later with old bay spice mix and olive oil, and a green and yellow courgette for stir frying with some veggie 'chicken' peices....oh, and a cuke to be chopped up in some couscous made with stock cube to add more flavour.
