Same tray of veg, but showing the strawberries in the corner!

the harvest on 19th June 2009

including the first (4!) potatoes

A trayful of pickings!

Mini cucumbers

The gardener's dog

Very miserable having got very wet in the pouring rain in the garden!

The first cucumber!

It may be tiny, but it was scrummy!

The pickings on 10th June

The very first baby cucumber, 4 sorts of lettuce, strawberries, coriander, rocket, sugar snaps, nasturtium leaves - which made a wonderful salad!

Overlooking other people's neat gardens!

Coriander

The coriander sprung up spontaneously, in the picture with broad beans and onions

View across the sheepy field at the back

Leeks and lambs lettuce

Bean poles waiting for action

Planted the beans directly into the soil - no sign of them yet... hope all goes well!

Bean pods

Despite the disastrous blackfly it looks as if I'll get at least one picking of broad beans.

Broad beans and onions

Broad bean bed

With a potato plant (sprung up all by itself), dill I put in to try and keep down the rampant blackfly

Celery in flower

I saved this from the greenhouse, a survivor from the previous owner. I've no idea what sort of celery it is, but good flavouring for stews etc.

Lettuce

getting bigger every day

Tomato, onion and marigold

Peas

The raised beds

including bean poles. They all need mulching, so I need to take a trip to the farm to get straw.

Rhubarb
