Cucumbers and other stuff earlier this year

[chriscross1966]

I have never had a cucumber before July before.... and yet this year (possibly because I was a bit more sorted out about getting stuff into the greenhouse, also, weather) I have had several.... the furst oone turned up over a week ago before I set off to Glastonbury, there were five needing harvesting when I got back (3x Mini Munch and a pair of Bangkok).... I've even had the first tomato ripen off in June.... admittedly it was on an ultradwarf plant called "Venus" annoyingly the blackcurrants ripened while I was away and despite the netting I chucked around the place I've lost a lot of them, but on the flipside I'm drowing in raspberries.... gotta check the plot, at this rate there might be pumpkins needing pruning...

Yer,likewise,we have been munching on cues for 2 weeks,only F1 femspots but after our move here to Dorset it is our first edible from the greenhouse so we are well chuffed.

I made a wicked Tzatziki out of one large one and we had it with roast lamb ripped to shreads
Stuffed in pitta breads and some salad from the garden.....well tasty.

Yes we also have a few tommies on the vines but only still small at the mo.

It's been brilliant fun growing stuff in our new garden( makeshift plot)
