Post by: ballingall on July 02, 2011, 11:16:47 pm: Rhubarb, Strawberries, salad leaves is all we have had so far.

The blackcurrants are very nearly ready, broad beans are flowering like mad, the runner beans are obstinately not flowering, and I was late with my courgettes so they are not ready yet....
