I'm new to veg/fruit growing this year. So far I've harvested potatoes, strawberries (not many) lots of carrots, lots of radish, beetroot, runner beans, french beans, broad beans, peas and today I picked my first blueberries. Have also picked my first cucumber and a few sungold toms from the greenhouse. I grow in a 6' x 4' raised bed and pots and I'm finding that this sort of space produces enough veg for the two of us. Think I'll have a glut of toms though.
Talking of picking and eating..... This was today's rush to get in before it drowns pick. Too much for us at once so some will go into veg soup, some in the fridge for this week, and some tomatoes in the freezer to wait for the Roma to ripen so they can be soup/sauce.
We've been a bit slow to start this year, but things are getting into the swing of it now. Not all are pictured, but we've had broccoli, courgettes, peas, runner beans, (loads of) garlic, onions, shallots, potatoes, blackcurrants, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, gooseberries, and we have some cherry tomatoes, beetroot, and carrots on the way with plums and apples due in the Autumn. Maybe parsnips if we're lucky. I love it!
My tomatoes have only just started this week @Songbird-1. I gave them a seaweed based tomato feed last week, I have convinced myself that that did the trick. 😄
Seems to have done,the little yellow ones are doing better Ildi, but I have only had a couple of Shirley so far, but a whole truss is just about to turn.
