Hi Herb,

I'm in South Yorkshire and I'm nowhere near pulling up carrot thinnings, especially that are big enough to eat.  When did you plant your carrots out?

Also, either you are incredibly 'green-fingered' or are you growing your strawberries in a greenhouse/polytunnel too?  I'm nowhere near contemplating eating my strawberries yet. 

Good for you though, whatever you are doing is obviously working

Greenfingers - first time I've been accused of that! No, I think two things help me in this:

I've been sowing a row of carrots every month since March - the first lot were under some perspex that fits over my small raised beds.

My plot is on a south(ish) facing hill, whilst it's windy in the winter, its a right suntrap in the summer.

I had 6 strawberries, some new spuds, and 2 onions yesterday. Oh and 2 courgettes.....

Mange tout tomorrow

[heygrow]

New potatoes (foremost); Salad leaves; little gem lettuce and radishes.
OK if you like salad dinners!

I'm impressed with those who are harvesting strawbs, mange tout and corgettes. Mine have a way to go yet!
My mange tout are about 6ft high and only just starting to flower. I thought they would be a lower growth height than they peas, but I got that wrong! They're bursting through the netting!!

[compostqueen]

I've eaten two strawbs off the plot, today and yesterday    Today's pickings Hispi cabbages for tea.  Lovely they were too

[snowdrops]

Salad leaves for lunch & dinner & loads of radish for dinner.

[Potty Plotty Lotty]

My first strawberry of the season with the sight of many more to come.

Wow!  You are very green-fingered (I hope that's not an insult...I'm from Canada originally so my terminology may be a bit different than everyone else's in Yorkshire).  Anyway, nice work, when can I come over for tea?   Or maybe I just need to grow my own, eh?

My first proper haul this year - broad beans, chard flowers (tasty!!), radishes, a couple of french beans and some strawberries that didn't make it off the plot...

6 onions, large handful of radish, plenty of red and green lettuce, a couple of pak choi and the first of the mange tout

[Beetroot queen]

Hubby popped up to pick 56 strawberries, 9 turnips, 3 beetroot, 8 stalks of rhubarb and the last of the lettuce for now.
