We have a little kale left about 3 swede and some leeks (very thin).  Should we dig up  the leeks now? Quite new at this.

Missed your post Teapot  ;)  Yes - harvest your leeks as they will start flowering and going to seed once it warms up  :)

Slim pickings here as well, but at least there is something. The second to last January King cabbage and the last few mustard greens.  Signs of hope though with the first pick of PSB, Sutherland kale and a few perpetual spinach leaves   :D

Got a lovely bunch of daffs to bring home as well  :)

Nice harvest thanks to the couple of warmer days last week at the plot:

The last of the leeks :(

Plenty chopped up and in the freezer though, so will be eating them for a bit yet.

Two lots of asparagus this week yum yum, just must not pick to much as it's our first year of picking. :)
Optimism probably a gardeners best tool.

Enough purple sprouting broccoli for one family serving.  Which is very welcome.

Someone else harvested a large bunch of sorrel from my plot yesterday. Made me so angry when I realised!

I so want to be able to contribute to this thread but as I'm new to growing veg it's going to be a while. However,  my husband and I had a rocket leaf each yesterday and it was delicious (hardly lunch and please don't laugh but it is a start!)  :wub:
My husband's a water sign, I'm an earth sign, together we make mud :-)

My gardening diary is here - go on, have a peek , you might be able to help me!

Anything harvested can be counted Caroline ;) :)

Spinach (perpetual) is all I've got ready to pick - and that was overwintered!! :D
