All of the Solent Wight garlic (stems were starting to rot), lots of mangetout and 3 cherry toms.  :)

Turnips lettuce and strawberries Sunday.
Only had a spare hour or I would have peas and potatoes as well
The strawberry bed needed a bit of a tidy loads of runners cut off. Still got lots of flowers although the fruit I picked was only small .i am not sure what brand of strawberry it is as they were of a neighbouring plot last year .

A cycle trailer load of shallots..(about 20kg)... no good waiting around for those warm, dry days so up they came.

A bucketful of potatoes, spring onions, raspberries and blackberries. I ate the two strawberries so there wouldn't be arguements when it came to sharing between the five of us when I got home.  ;)

Despite the poor weather, this weekend gave the best harvest of the year so far:

- managed to find about a dozen decent strawberries among the rotted and half slug-eaten fruit. Eaten for breakfast Sunday morning

- picked all the broadbeans off the two plants our girls had brought home from school. Eaten blanched in a salad Saturday night

- picked the first crop of chanteray carrots, the biggest coming in at about 2cm! Ate with tea Sunday night.

- a good handful of french breakfast radishes. Eaten with lunch on Saturday and Sunday

- a colander full of mixed salad leaves - mostly red veined sorrel and mixed mustard leaves. Eaten Saturday night (with the broad beans)

- two hot banana peppers, grilled on the BBQ Sunday night

- first two tomatoes of the year! Both eaten by our girls as soon as they were picked

- 15-20 wild strawberries - also eaten striaght off the plant, mostly by our girls!

Had my first pickings of Charlotte pots.  Left them a little long as they are now medium sized, but absolutely yummy and buttery..or was that the LChristi, I forgot which row was which despite colour co-ordinating them

Anyway, well happy  :D

The leaves on some of my shallots are just starting to turn brown ?  is it better to lift from sodden soil and dry in conservatory than leave in the ground. Will they be any good for pickling which was our goal   
Retired but never short of a job.

Haven't managed to get on here much lately (made redundant and finding then starting a new job are big time sinks, as well as keeping up with the plot), but had to drop in with my latest harvest, of which I am a little proud:

The first few rainbow chard stalks and leaves of the season. :) I would have taken more spinach too, but it is down the other end and I got wet enough from the rain just getting the chard. ::)

I picked a few redcurrants off the bush today. They were lovely and ripe but so sour without enough sun.  :mellow:
