Just hand a bowl of my fresh dug potatoes with pasiley from my garden the taste was amazing. This is my first year as a vegtable growing and I am totally hooked.

I'm eating my second lot of strawberries fresh from the plot as I type.  There's nothing quite like the taste of the stuff you grow yourself.

How the heck have you got strawberries ripened outdoors already? I've got plenty of fruit on mine, but they're not even close to ripe yet.

That's just not fair. Have you been chanting druid spells or what?

lol yeah!!!

To add insult to injury i havent even netted any of mine - dont seem to have problems with birds stealing my goodies - have enough other baddies of other crops though

Here in the 'Garden of England' we have been eating strawberries for two weeks now.
Even made strawberry conserve yesterday, from a recipe in  Val Harrisons book.

Simply different varieties, they're ready at different times, like spuds.

We've had some out of the back garden, but the main lot - the "Irresistible" on the plot are still filling out.

Irresistibles cropping nicely in Briz and they taste fabulous, so you've a treat coming very soon DD!

All my strawbs have been early this year. My only worry is that there won't be any left by the time Wimbledon arrives!  May have to watch it while eating scones with cream and homemade stawberry jam instead - such hardship!
