OOOOooooo....PEAS!

That's looong way for my pea plants yet.

I had my first CHILLI yesterday...

Used it to make nice stir fry with various greens from plot and some Vietnamese coriander that is growing like mad!

More of the same tonight

No, not from over wintering plant but from 'new' plants...actually all my chillies have some fruit, though most still small

I did start them early indoors and they were already starting to flower under the lights. Once planted in their permanent positions in GH, they just romped away, must have been ready for spreading their roots.
The one I have eaten was Naranga...still green but with plenty of heat already

I have feeling it is going to be good cropping year....

If you are overawed with them, I am sure that I am not the only one that would take them off your hands

Just a bit envious here

Finally getting courgettes they are very late, I normally start in May. Been very cold at night here. Even yesterday the wind was very cold, and the courgettes leaves were drooping.

Finally getting strawberries they are late too, Last year I had a saucepan full for solstice summer party. First few raspberries. A nice overwintered head of broccoli popped up from the root.

Also a few mangetout. Thank goodness for Sainsburys etc or we would be rather hungry.

Hi Goodlife, just like you I have picked my first punnet of the year. They tasted superb well worth all the hard work. Here is a pic of the little beauties.
