Produce of our GH & frames. (Actually picked last week - I'm still very slow on this photo lark.)

Beautiful - I hope that you enjoyed them.

Thanks. They taste lovely!!!! Carrots are Amsterdam Forcing. (If you look carefully, you can see where they hit the base of the trough & started to curl over!.) Lettuce is Winter Density.

Just off to the plot to pick some more (and some Broad Beans!).

(I think I'm more pleased to have sorted out the picture bit at last!)

very nice and carrots so early in the year, lucky you! I haven't even sown mine yet. I grow winter density lettuce too, it's nice :)

When did the Lettuce go in?

Sown January 15th; pricked out February 25th; but - would you believe it - I didn't write down when they were planted!!! Guess at mid-March I've got a feeling my assistant gardener did that bit & didn't write up her diary! Oops!

Carrots went in January 14th.
