Me three on the cauli, but not as good as TeeGee's.  Plenty of kale shoots, kale florets, psb, also three cornered leek, a couple of real leeks still left and the second to last celeriac.  Lots of salading, cress, landcress, endive, lamb's lettuce, rocket and Welsh onion.  :wave:

My Rhubarb is flying but wasn't sure if it's too early to pick, looks as though everyone's chomping on theirs already.   :toothy10:
MAY THE CORN BE WITH YOU.

Just new salad and new kale.

Probably nothing today, but I have my eye on some rhubarb for the weekend...

My rhubarb looks like a totally different plant from last year! The stems are so much fatter and the colour is deeper too. I'm really pleased, seems the manure and "liquid gold" last year worked beautifully so I'll continue to do that. ;)

I am also doing well with rhubarb.  Put some compost bins over mine, so the stems are a couple of feet long.  Keeps them warm too.   Did not know they like liquid gold.  Will give that a try.  They have had a bucket of manure each.

Also Russian kale and leeks (though I do not eat them).  Grow them for my daughter and brother in law. 

The parsley I planted out in the autumn is perking up so I will have a handful of that,

Silverleaf, whatever you were doing, keep doing it!  So pleased you finally got some.  Last year you reported a few sickly, thin sticks whilst the rest of us seemed to have lush rhubarb. Glad for the change in fortune   :wave:

It looks pretty good, lots of new stems coming too! I picked four fat sticks but decided I wanted Oreo ice cream for dessert instead, but we'll eat the rhubarb tomorrow.

Thanks to everyone who gave me such good advice! :)

Gorgeous!

Couple of caulis and sprouting broccoli.  From the greenhouse lamb's lettuce, cress and lettuce.  Just clearing all the salading from the greenhouse and planting tomatoes and peppers.  :wave:
