Big harvest last night.  

-Cleared the remainder of the broad beans which filled a carrier bag.
-French beans
-Shiraz mange tout - enough to feed 6 of us in one meal, plus plenty to freeze
-Another kilo of strawberries (truth is, I was bored picking them so left the rest to hubby)
-Borlotti beans
-purple sprouting broccolli
-Another half a dozen mixed courgettes - green, yellow, round, etc.

The first of the sweet peas (very late this year) and an armful of various lilies for my vase.

Yesterday before the latest bout of rain, another 2.3 Kg of Lady Christl from 4 plants. Going at that rate, the total could be around 25 Kg when all the plants are harvested..

Kids and I harvested 5 Golden Nugget plants (first earlies) and got 3lb (1.3kg) - is that good? I don't know. They were planted 9th April.

I'm not familiar with that potato variety, but I felt that last week's 2.4 Kg of Lady Christl from 4 plants wasn't that good.

More strawberries plus raspberries, tayberries, gooseberries and white/black berries.  I also grabbed a globe courgette that seemed to have trebled in size overnight! Oh, and a cabbage and some lettuce!
