Did a pot roast in the pressure cooker, with new pots, carrots and spring onions. Steamed new cabbage with this and home made gravy was there to top off.

Got them back now to put some tread on them

Spinach, gooseberries and half a punnet of strawberries (not wild alpines and not planted by me - they've just been there on a bank for five years and suddenly, this year, they've gone from producing a few small berries to something approaching a crop or large berries. When I've TRIED to  raise bought plants I've not succeeded - must be a lesson there somewhere about letting nature get on with it sometimes! I never had the heart to clear them away (couldn't think of anything better!) and suddenly an unexpected reward!

New spuds, wonderful peas and broadbeans, raspberries and a couple of red onions that were bolting.
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com
