The strawberrys in my pots were a few weeks behind the ones at the plot, however they were a lot bigger in size. I had to cover my pots with fleece ( i had no netting) to stop all the birds from pecking at them.
Dont the first peas always taste the best. You've waited all year to taste the sweetness and they never dissappoint. Mine never make it back to the kitchen as they are always eaten as i walk round the garden. This was my first ever harvest of mangetout. They arent as sweet as peas but they are miles better than the bland ones you buy from the supermarket. I cant get over how productive they are either.
I wish i could say the lettuces were mine, but they were given to me by my plot neighbour. however the magetout were mine and so was the blackcurrants, which i turned into jars of blackcurrant jelly.
I picked the first of the gooseberrys. Ive never used them before but now that ive got three big bushes on my plot, i need to collect a few recipes for them. This first batch got turned into chutney.
