Picked broad beans enough for a meal and 1.5 kilo for freezer.

Yum!

Three strawberries and three radishes.

The strawberries were wonderful, very big and juicy and sweet. And all gone :D

Strawberries and strawberries and strawberries..... beautiful flavour and pleased to have so many to share.

Add to this a bag of baby-leaf spinach and that's it.

Much better than nothing but.....I really am trying to be patient  :blink:

It was our first harvest yesterday!!!! A cucumber which was really yummy and a few small potatoes.  Not much but a sense of achievement after all this bad weather

All these posts make me realise how very behind I am! :(

Some spicy salad leaves, radish and herbs. Not much but tasty.

Couldn't resist some nice fresh garlic for garlic bread. It's the chooks' fault, they dug some up one day so I got the taste for it!  :lol: The dried up things in the supermarket just aren't the same!

OH picked/dressed and  froze 3.7K of gooseberries from a bush we bought three years ago and had almost given up hope with. Once again patience paid off.

Also put 2K of broad beans in freezer in addition to those have eaten, unfortunately the birds,Jackdaws we think are attacking broad beans and most of the plots around us ripping the pods apart and making a terrible mess
Retired but never short of a job.
