  • Some tiny first pick courgettes, a cucumber and radish so far.  The beetroot and blackcurrants are swelling up nicely, so they should be ready soon.

    Havn't got anything yet - but havn't really tried to grow anything so far. Plum tree has fruit appearing on it so REALLY hoping to get some of it this year (last year they all split and bugs got to them before i did), also couple of my strawberry plants are now holding green fruit so can't wait to try those!

    Also gooseberry has quite a few berries on it - there green but dont change colour (as i found out last year) so how do i know they're ready?

    Only been in my place a year so still trying to get the garden sorted :) but i'm totally aiming for next year being the year i grow stuff :)

    So far I've managed to harvest some small but delightful broad beans, a few carrots, a couple of bags of maris peer potatoes. The radishes I pulled were scabby again so I maybe need to have a think about what's going on there! I've had oodles of strawberries, cut and come again salad leaves and plenty of herbs. Just waiting for the courgettes and runners to get the memo to hurry along and grow haha. 

    Sounds like everyone has lovely harvest too

    Radishes and rainbow chard, a bit of rocket, various herbs and I think the onions that I overwintered are getting ready to come up. It's my first year growing veg and I've made a lot of rookie mistakes I think. My strawberry plant is still tiny and my chillies all died when the greenhouse fell apart while I was on holiday but I repotted some of them anyway and a couple might be bouncing back even though they were just growing in a pile of mud for a few days. I think I might have left it too long before putting the strawberries in a bigger pot. Is there still time for them to produce any fruit this summer?

    Lots of strawberries but then they are grown under glass. Mint, sage, chives, parsley, Basil, also grown inside.  Tomatoes, lots of but still green, also under glass.

    Lots  of raspberries but tiny and green at the moment. 

    Blueberries, not a lot as I put them in the ground this Spring which has stopped them for a while.

    Apart from runner beans, I don't grow veg anymore,  we never eat it all and I don't like much frozen.  

    Having said that, I am going to grow cabbages through the winter in the greenhouse when the tomatoes are finished.  That does freeze well.
