Woo hoo!!! 5 raspberries... promptly eaten ;)

Oh... and a lettuce, because it is the middle of my climbing peas, and was in danger of being overshadowed!

Loads of Strawberries - have to pick them 'coz the slugs are active. Broadbeans & cabbage. Also dug up the first of the garlic - good hefty bulbs looks like its going to be a bumper crop this year.

Enough peas for dinner, a large handful of strawberries, some radishes and a few small lettuces that I thinned out.

Today's harvest:

5 red onions (replanted so the squirrels can pull them up again tomorrow)
1 polystyrene take-away box in pieces (dumped by the foxes)
12 snails (squished!)

Not the best of seasons…..but it may get warmer.  :unsure:

I have a feeling mine are going to be the same if there's any left after the slugs have shown an interest.

just picked a couple of lettuces. Thought it best to have them before the slugs finished them off! Tempted by asparagus but decided to let them grew on now and recover from this cold wet season.

cheers HH
Keep digging
