Just came home with about 30 broad bean pods, a round courgette, couple of lettuce, about 20 radishes (half will probably end up in the bin) and a saucepan full of charlottes, all for tea tonight - lovely!
Went to pick some peas but of the first 4 I had a look inside there was a maggot in each one! Just said to my lad to cut the whole blooming row down! After that experience today I've decided I'm never going to follow DD and his pea fetish.

I have a huge bush of redcurrents.  So today I ordered a jam pan, my first.  I also ordered 24 1/2 ib jam jars and some waxed lids.  Ive got Vals book.  I harvested 500g of berries today but I think I can see ten times that many.  I will report back after next harvest, all going in the freezer until Amazon day comes.  I will be back.


Someone on our freecycle asked for a jam pan and got one, i was never that lucky but there is no way mine would EVER be on freecycle. Pics remember Bob please.  :D

A Co-op carrier bag of Broad Beans. Poor pollination this year, just over half a colander of podded beans from the whole bag. Lots of 1-2 bean pods.

Goosegogs, first harvest, good tupperware full.

Strawberries, a few bowl fulls :)

A kilo of Maris Bards, half a kilo of Ratte Salad, 2 cucumbers.
Forgot to harvest the already large enough courgettes, so will probably have marrows tomorrow!

First proper strawberry picking of the year, 1.5lb picked and scoffed for breakfast between the family!

Another 2lb picked strawberries at the weekend, plus about 30 small alpine strawberries.

Oh, and 5 tiny carrots. OK, they are a small variety, but I am sure they are supposed to grow to more than half an inch... I say it every year, and I'll say it again: I give up on carrots!!
