Managed to get the first pickings of the year from the allotment today. I was thinning the pak choi and thought that the plants looked large enough that I could eat the thinnings, so I took them home and cooked them. They seem to have a much milder flavour than pak choi I have bought at the local market, don't know if that is because they were small. I'll leave the others to get a bit bigger.

That's wonderful Al!    I remember sitting with my Mum pricking out the brassicas and munching on the leavings. 
I've grown pak choi for the first time this year and they do grow quite quickly (lovely looking plants, especially the purple ones), I'm sure you'll really enjoy them.

well done..its inspirational when you start getting the fruits of your labours..so far weve had lettuce leaves, radishes and 2 leeks!  2 more leeks on Tuesday for Mrs W speciality(only)dish  sausage casserole.

the wet weather last week and now the warm weather has really started the plants growing, and I think that we wont be buying any more onions , as our overwintering varietys are swelling nicely now
