Some gartenperle tomatoes, a couple of onions and the first of the Alderman peas, they never made it home ;)

Garlic Rosemary and oregano to go in my dinner tonight.

The first pea I have ever grown. Actually, it was more like a mange tout and approx 2 cms long but I was so surprised to see it there I had to grab it before the slugs and snails did!  ::)

My globe artichokes are doing particularly well this year, I've had 5 heads so far. I notice it's the third year and for some reason, every perennial anything always performs fantastically in its third year. Why is that I wonder? Just reaching maturity?

Raspberries already! Well done you. I think I read that one or two other people had picked a few. Mine are still rock hard and greenish. So much for living in the sounny south.  ::)

I harvested the first of my new potatoes and some rhubarb - Had the new potatoes with a bbq lastnight, and made the rhubard into rhubard and crumble ice cream for dessert :yum:

It is the first harvest we have had from the allotment since we got it so were very pleased  :)

A couple of broad beans to see if they were ready (they were!).  :tongue2:

Brilliant Green Thumb. It's a great feeling isn't it.... to eat something you've grown yourself. Tastes better too.  ;)

Spring onions (but not that wonderful), salad leaves, raspberries (just made it to the kitchen) and peas (that didn't).  :D
I have my own cement mixer and not afraid to use it!!

Just called at the plot to pick a small cauliflower to have a teatime. It's the first time I've grown them, so pleased. It tasted wonderful
