A single row of radishes was all I sowed in my first year. Everybody laughed at them.

The flea beetles were the first to get any kind of nourishment out of them. I don't remember how many of the radishes we eventually ate - they were right woody, that much I do recall.

The ground was rock hard and virtually impossible to dig. Even picking the radishes was hard work. Amazing it didn't put me right off the whole business.

Broad beans planted first as it was autumn and I wanted to start with something. First things eaten were the onions that I found left by the previous owner. First thing of my own was a micro salad from thinnings!

Blimey, I can't think what I planted this year.  But I'll give it a go.

It was spuds, but my first thing that I ate was blackberries from all the brambles I'd hacked back.  We'd got our lottie in August, so didn't bother growing anything.  We just hacked and hacked back the brambles and then dug over the plot taking out all the weed roots - we actually dug it over 3 times before the Spring.  So with all that bramble, we had lots of blackberries which were the best ever :happy:

Still waiting for an allotment.

I've been growing stuff forever, far too long to remember what was first. Went to boarding school (Army family) and we had a large plot where we used to grow salads, carrots, beans and things.
