Asparagus and broad beans, and a few strawberries whilst hubby was edging ('cos I was watching him  ;D). A reminder to start netting the berry bushes!

Strawberries and baby-leaf spinach..... but not together.  ;)

Both so worth waiting for........ worth all the time and effort for the taste and freshness.

Nearly the end of last season's frozen runner beans with the roast (well it was a miserable day and salad didn't seem appropriate).

Going to eat my first punnett of strawberries from my new plot today. Woo Hoo...  :D  :D

I removed half the flowers from the plants as they are new from runners I got in september and grew them up in pots till my plot was dug and ready for them.
Now a member of the 10 Ton club.... (over 10 ton per acre)    2013  harvested 588 Kg from 165 sq mt..      see my web blog at...  http://www.gavinconway.net

A few peas, little Miss Impatient, that is me, I just love picking,  but just had to try a few, but very small, and four strawberries.

Strawberries! Loads.... although quite a few headed for the compost heap due to all the wet weather and grey mold.
