compostwoman Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 More broad beans. This is the point at which I remember I don't really like them THAT much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henriette Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Peas, potatoes and salad leaves. With regard to courgettes, I have nine plants and I don't know why I would love to have had some broadbeans, but loved one doesn't eat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patricia W Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Well, I'm going to pick some broccoli tonight. Although I must confess I thought it was a cauliflower and was waiting for it to go white till DD pointed out it was broccoli.... Must remember what I've planted next time!

The Dogmother Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Not me, but Phil's folks - they have a glut of gooseberries and tipped up at my place on Saturday with an enormous Tupperware containing about 6lbs of them! I have topped, tailed and quartered about half of them and frozen them, will do the rest tomorrow night. They'll be made into jam when I get a moment.

eggmayo Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 My first ever beetroot. I've been trying for years and never had any success getting beetroot beyond seedlings, so it feels like a real triumph. Not sure what I've done differently this year, but it's been growing really well. Had it shredded in salad-sooo sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAJ Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Not me, but Phil's folks - they have a glut of gooseberries and tipped up at my place on Saturday with an enormous Tupperware containing about 6lbs of them! I have topped, tailed and quartered about half of them and frozen them, will do the rest tomorrow night. They'll be made into jam when I get a moment. I filled a whole freezer shelf from one bush last summer - this summer we got 14lbs from it. I have to pick at a weekend, so we have a morning to pick and an afternoon to sit and top & tail. Today we have picked redcurrants, blackcurrants, courgettes, lettuce & cauli. Shallots were strung yesterday and onions are dug and now drying.

TAJ Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Only peas picked - but if you were asking 'what should I have picked today?' the answer would be French Beans, Courgettes, Blackcurrants, Goseberries, Raspberries, Cauliflowers - I can't process it all fast enough!
