You're all so far ahead of me, my raspberries are hard and green, cherries dito, my cucumbers are a few inches high and tomatos not much taller.
but Strawberries are doing well, had to pick them in a thunderstorm today which wasn't ideal, but the weather doesn't always co-operate.
Here's a few 500g punnets, I got 24 today they're Salsa which is a very nice tasting variety, these are little watery as we've had 10cm of rain in the last 2 days.
Again so many of you are having such sucess with fruit and we aren't. Our straws/logans have been very poor this year but the currants/gooseberry have been great.
No photo but today started gooseberry wine, bottled gooseberries, de seeded morello cheeries and bottled them as well. Left the other cherries on the tree for the birds!!!
Strawberries and loganberries almost all picked for this season. @bertrand-mabel here it is blueberries that are food for the birds as they get to them even before they are fully ripened.

And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils (roses). Taking a bit of liberty with Wordsworth
This is the earliest I can remember picking enough runner beans for a meal 😀 Variety ‘Moonlight’. a self-pollinating runner French bean hybrid with a real runnerbean flavour. This is the third year I’ve grown them.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
That is early. I have a few flowers on mine but that is all. We've got a lot of kale though. I've also had several jug fulls of raspberries. Blackcurrants are starting to ripen. Plums seem to have set along with pears and apples.
@Dovefromabove Those runner beans look enticing; I'm also growing Moonlight this year, flowering right now, so the beans will not be far behind. Enorma has a few beans now, hope they'll be ready for picking soon.
@fidgetbones I would love to grow kale; missed out on sowing seeds this year.
