Often the tube "transplants" look better but have less depth to the root, which is balanced by a broader crown... the direct sown will not bulk out at the shoulder for a while as they are swelling a much longer root...  :-\

I'm just eating last night's ratatouille (peppers, aubergine, garlic, tomato, onion, courgette), cold, on a cream cheese sandwich, with a glass of red.  Either that, or I've died and gone to Heaven  ;D.

Finished off yesterdays stuffed marrow, with fresh carrots.
My corn on the cob starter did not get eaten, they had gone past their best and will be back on the compost, so tomorrow I will freeze any that are still good, and then start to eat next variety.
If there's nothing wrong with me, maybe there's something wrong with the universe!

had yoghurt with raspberries and blueberries for breaky.

had french bean salad with cous-cous containing char-grilled shallot, courgette, peppers and some fresh toms for lunch.

had beef stir fry - very little meat but bulked out with red onion & courgette (my OH groaned a bit) with noodles, and a side dish of stir fried broccoli with sesame seeds and soy.

I think I managed five plus portions of fruit and veg today.

We made this with an immature pumpkin and some swiss chard (and obviously our onions and garlic). Was lovely!

Sweet corn for breakfast.  Popped it straight into microwave still in its leaf covering and  zapped for three minutes.  Delicious. I do hate burning my fingers when I take the green wrapping off.
