Salad coming out of our ears, a few peas, cucumbers, last of the winter psb, first broad beans just about ready to try.....gooseberries demolished by the sawfly larvae, tatties not ready yet (flowers just appearing on 1st earlies), globe artichokes not even got a bud on, beans not ready, courgettes not ready, tomatoes not ready, sweetcorn not ready, melons not even set, chillies not ready, beetroot not ready, squashes thinking of starting to set....but the blackcurrants are ready today and I need to fight my way through the head high weeds to get to them  :D  Sounds like I'm behind  ::)

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....

Things are REALLY late up here. It's our first time growing veg so far north. We've had 1 courgette, some radish, salad leaves and a cucumber :D Things are just starting to pick up in the polytunnel now but our carrots etc are still only an inch high  :-\

just a few herbs  :(

the early sun then copious rain ruined my salad crops, but the winter veg are flourishing, so be a better report later in the year  ;D

waaaaay too many radishes!  ;D

Some salad, one or two early potatoes, and a few courgettes.  Never known myself to be so excited about forthcoming beans!

onions, broad beans, herbs, spuds (not many though) rhubarb, spinach & spinach beet, cabbage & last years brussels' leaves (left in for the animals but I tell my husband its cabbage!)
strawberries, blackcurrants ...

waiting for cherries, apples, pears that are all getting there  :D
