Have been able to give family, over the Easter week (up to 16 of us twice a day, not counting homemade bread and marmalade and jam at breakfast): asparagus, chard, potatoes, micro-greens (grown in a gutter indoors), rhubarb cake, artichokes, land cress; and masses and masses of frozen things day after day: red and yellow raspberries, gooseberries, blackberries, broad beans, purple sprouting.

Would have had to spend a fortune to feed them like that from shops. I am never sure if I save money by having allotments, but I think I did this week.

I hope that wasn't your entire days calorie intake ;D ;D

I had some lovely fat asparagus which the rain has got going, but I see it has also got the slugs going also. I think I shall have to give in and buy some Nematodes

Harvested a big batch of Choi Sum just when it was about to flower. Deliberately grown it earlier than is normally stated just for a smaller crop... yum, it was called sauteed in garlic and olive oil ;)

This weekend, we ate: 2 big artichokes (half each! delish), 1 kilo of strawberries, shared with some friends, a handful of peas (rather wishful thinking on my part) and a few new potatoes, firkled from under the plants...
