Home alone but I got lots done today.
After the morning feed I picked lots of strawberries and got a bottle of Bordeaux in return for a bowl I gave to a couple in the next hamlet.
Picked lots of these too !!!

They are!  I hope he's joking!


I picked 5 strawberries (which didnt get shared) and several radishes.  Thats all i have at the moment.

  , I keep seeing wild strawberries but they are not ready yet, just hope I get to them when they are, I love forraging for fruits of the forest!!!

Strawberries? 

I wish! Must admit I picked some off the supermarket shelf on Friday...  Couldn't resist. It'll be a while yet until my own are ready. (At least they were Scottish...) The only stuff ready for picking in my garden at the moment is the last of last year's kale.


Lots of wind and rain this weekend.

I ador Kale

[Backinwellies]

Only thing worth picking in damp and windy wales today is slugs!!!!

Yep colarado beetles !
I also picked another large lettuce ( they all come at once don't they), some spinach and peas.
worth looking up Colarado beetles in wikepedia - orrible things ! 

[Fanackapan]

I picked chicken poop 
I could have picked a couple of courgette but they weren't the right veg for todays dinner, I could have picked salad leaves but we weren't having salad either . 
Just remembered I did pick coriander leaves for the casserole.

I remember lessons about them way back in primary school!  (a very very long time ago!). I think they are still one of the things you have to inform DEFRA about in the UK.

We picked radishes and spinach from our veggie patch. We've been away for a week and the spinach has got a little out of control so shared it with the pigs and goats, also gave the rabbits and guinea pigs a little. They were all more appreciative than the teenage son

i remember being shown a tank of locusts at school. the teachers frightened the life out of me with horror stories of plagues etc. in reality they probably wouldnt survive british weather.

Purple sprouting broccoli, sugar snap peas and mini broad beans to eat whole, lettuce, marjoram, beetroot, cucumbers.  I must own up and say the cucumbers are still in pots on the bedroom windowsill    so we eat them tiny.   Oh and a couple of tiny wild strawbs     Not bad but it's all grown in the polytunnel - there'd be nothing if it was outside, where the only greenery to be seen, apart from massive weeds, are the potato tops, way off being edible.  Still, a nice little meal to go with our own chops.

[MAK]

So satisfying when you have a meal with all your own veg and chops too ! - especially having worked on the polytunnel when the climate outside does not allow fresh veg.
I am home alone so unless I want to look like Popeye the rabbits will get some spinach as I gather you have to keep picking it.
