Yummy!  We had our first meal yesterday, together with asparagus. Our two favourite veggies together.

Yes mine have suddenly sprung up too. I think it must be the rain that has done it. I will let mine get a bit bigger first, maybe I will pick them next week!

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

Must go and check on mine- they weren't doing much last time I went but that was nearly a week ago thanks to the rain.
