Used my first Brocolli floret on Saturday and very nice it was too! Had in in a Broccoli and Stilton soup.

A couple more florets on other the plants are not far off now either.... I'll have to get thinking some broccoli recipes!


Had my first potatoes from the garden today! Been delaying it, because I weren't sure if they were ready... but they were a very good size.

Going on holiday in a weeks time, so going to have to do a very big weed before I go, so it's not all overgrown by the time I get back!

Have started to eat some of the fruits of my (and other people's!!!) labour.

The lettuce is ready and very nice it is too! Should have planted some more mind, as it is disappearing very quickly. Think next year I'll do a few seeds at a week ish, intervals apart.... bit of a pain with them all being ready at the same time.

My runner beans are about half way up the post now. The sweat peas I put around them have started to flower.... not sure how long they flower for, but maybe next year I'll start them off a bit later, so the beans are a bit more developed by the time they flower.

Peas are doing well, slowly climbing up the pea netting I put up.

Don't think the potatoes will be much long! Can't wait for these!!!

One of my broccoli plants is ready, the rest are quite a way off.
