First harvest today!
« on: May 23, 2010, 08:55:34 am »
I know it's not much but today I will be harvesting some lettuce and radishes to have with our lunchtime barbecue!

This will be our first taste of our garden produce - can't wait!

It's the little pleasures hey?  :)

Barbecue was lovely and the salad was great! Radishes were lovely - quite sweet with a peppery aftertaste. 'Salad bowl' lettuce and 'lollo rosso' was nice too - I think i had a tad too much Pimms though! Just caught my 3 year old polishing off the fruit in the bottom of the jug!  ::)

Nothing remotely ready in our veg plot yet.  We are always way behind with our growing up in these hills!!!
