chickencam Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 New potatoes which were huge, and broadbeans, which we had for tea and loads more strawberries and raspberries. We are having breakfast smoothies (I also had strawbs and raspberries on my museli) and strawberries and cream for pudding in the evening We will all be red and green soon. I think some will have to go in the freezer today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 We had our first 4 globe artichokes today - I only like eating them on a hot day so this year is great.......we usually end up eating them on a grey wet day! Also dug up more new potatoes, picked broad beans, peas, carrots, lettuce, a few tomatoes, strawbs and currants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The past couple of years we still had sweet peas way up until the end of September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maris Bard, Bonnie, and Aran Pilot. The Maris Bard won WE just had new potatoes and chargrilled courgettes for tea, followed by more fruit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
