Topic: Drooling already!

[undercarriage plan]

Dug up my first potatoes today!! Can't wait.  Dripping with butter and fresh mint!!  Blow the calories, going to stuff my face!!  Will have an orange after...!  I love this time of year. Mustn't get too excited, last year, lost the later crop to blight!! Lottie  ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'm drooling now too!

Can't wait for mine to be ready - checked the firsts yesterday and they are about the size of peas! oh well - more water and more patience!

Sorry, feel really guilty now......! I'll just have to force myself to eat them whilst not enjoying it one bit?!!! Lottie  ;D

[aquilegia]

tis alright - I'll be thinking of you when I'm still enjoying my new potatoes and yours ran out ages ago!  ;D

Errrrrm she says in a very quiet voice, I have been eating mine nightly for a week now :-[  And YES loads of butter and mint, so Aqui when we are all the size of the Michelin man you can laugh at us! ;D  ;D

Well, I'm a tad on the full side...!  You lucky thing DP, How did you manage that?!  I think a freshly dug new potato must be one of my favourite veggies.  Along side carrots, brocoli, beans, Coutgettes, sweet corn, cauliflower..........
Lottie  ;D ;D ;D ;D PS didn't have orange, mars bar ice cream!!!!!!!  :o

We had our first strawberries yesterday.....and it was HEAVEN ! Lovely big plump juicy fruits and SO tasty !!

Add to that our first broad beans (cut young and sliced like runner beans), then the mature beans at the end of last week, lovely new potatoes, lots of salad stuff and of course omelettes from our own eggs and now the crowning glory of strawberries......................

ok, I'm hooked. This may be our first season of growing, but it certainly won't be our last.

We worked out last night that we are growing over 60 different varieties of fruit and veg....can't wait for the rest to come online !

Last night we had freshly dug amandine new potatoes with a little gem lettuce and CCA salad, followed by strawberries (all from the plot)
YUM.

Only had a few strawberries this year, but they were fantastic!!  About two a day, doesn't go far between six of us!!!! Trying to persuade kids that they'd much rather have a piece of lettuce........! Lottie  ;D ;D

Dug up a bowl full of volunteer spuds today, all lovely and small and tender, and will be delish with the freshly picked lettuce, radish and cuke for tea!  ;D
