First little pea

Best crop of all - chickweed  :oops:  Decided to stop fighting it and going to make soup from it - there's lots more than this  :D

And finally, what is this I've grown? Got 4 pots of this, unlabelled, from months back. Looks like grass  :oops:

Thanks Alex. They lived all through winter and the snow and everything and are my very first, so I'm really proud of them  :D Yours will go lovely with your new potatoes!
CQ no, they're not chives. My chives came up like chives, individually, but this was a little 'clump' from the start  :?

I scrounge them Jazzbyrd, along with marg tubs, plastic cartons etc etc - a Pot Noodle pot is just the right size for tomato & other seedlings before they hit the big bucket  :D
