Just picked another tasty Little Gem lettuce to go in the BLTs* I am making for lunch. We've only been picking them since last weekend, with the "slow" weather. ::) I still can't receommend them highly enough as a great lettuce to grow and eat of course. :)

*Sadly, the tomatoes are still shop-bought. :(

Another 1.5lb Strawberries, some radishes, some rocket....

But I reckon I'll get some broad beans over the weekend (not exactly a feast, as we have only got two broad bean plants: our girls brought them home from school having planted them in nursery class, and even though one got attacked by snails early on, it's recovered well on a "side branch" and we've got about 8-10 pods on each, which are fattening up well).

Lots of Rocket spuds, picked Rhubarb, peas, radish, lettuce, beetroot, carrots, courgette and cucumber. Quite a healthy stock today
All the way from my allotment in beautiful Derbyshire. I'm in year 3 of my allotment and wish I'd caught the bug years ago, things growing from strength to strength

Broad beans, peas and the first runner beans.

   
Also the first three heads of calabrese Beaumont.                                             

   
Plus more purple sprouting. Not netted but pest free!
I`m left handed, what`s your excuse?

Another 1.3 and a bit Kg of Sharpe's Express potatoes from 5 plants so not quite as good as last weeks yield. I was hoping the yields to get better as we progress into the wider parts of the bed - we'll see, that was probably just a glitch. ;)

There will be more Little Gem and other salad ingredients later. :)

crikey! Just dug up one of my Nadine second earlies, cos I was so curious to see how they were doing - not having planted Nadine before - WELL!! Just that one plant filled a carrier bag with beautiful oval creamy spuds. Just one spud was enough to feed both moi and OH for lunch - beautiful waxy flesh.  :tongue2: :tongue2: Just hope they store well, as I have another 30 plants in........................then there's the 70 Maris Piper to go............ :unsure:
small, Welsh and almost certainly bonkers, but can be tamed with Talisker, if required
