We had the first things we actually planted ourselves here in BG. A handfull of peas and a handful of french beans. Every one savoured!

Makes such a lovely change from courgettes and tomatoes!

That is lovely Tosca.  :)

Four mini cucumbers - gave two away and had one for lunch. They are nearly as bad as courgettes - one minute small and the next ready for picking. Bit forgetting two courgettes.

2.3 kg of late spuds from 2 plants (dippy me didn't make a note of the name), they've only been in 13 weeks, but were looking a bit poorly. God alone knows what weight we'll get from 2 plants if they make it to 20 weeks :-)

3 courgettes, 2 cucumber, 1kg of Ratte Salad spuds, a couple of salad toms and enough strawberries for my pudding.

Hoping upon hope that I will get to pick the first runner beans tomorrow.

A huge amount of Pink Fir apple potatoes from 2 bags of compost - really pleased.
Another courgette.
About 40 large Stuttgarter giant onions - now drying in the utility.

At last we have had some veg from the lotty; everything has been late starting.

Had some calabrese (the first we have ever grown so were chuffed to bits), cabbage, and green beans to go with the spit roast lamb and the rosemary and apple jelly.

15kg of cherries!

So they are in vodka and brandy, squashed into wine, frozen, bottled and pickled. Any other suggestions? There are plenty more on the tree!

A handful of radishes (french breakfast and vienna), my first purple teepee beans of the year, and 8 spring onions I had forgotten all about (that were bought in November for 20p from a garden centre and I just found the last of them as I was tidying up our forest of mint!).

And the first peas of the year (but only 4 pods, enough for one each!), the first multiple raspberry crop (only had singles so far, but got about 20 this time!), another 200g strawberries, and a small crop of whitecurrants.
