Well done you!!

I am celebrating the first flowers on my peas - gonna be a while till we get to eat any. I had to re-sow broccoli as the first lot got eaten My last year's planting was all over by February - need more space to grow later varieties methinks.

Enjoy your stir-fry

They look fantastic, well done! When did you sow and plant them?

Had allotment broad beans for dinner tonight, and 1 sprout on my summer purple sprouting broccoli - that didn't even make it home, I ate it raw and it was lovely. I have one strawberry which should be ready to pick tomorrow, if the birds and slugs don't beat me to it.

Thanks

Broccoli sown 3rd Feb and planted out 12th April.

Mange Tout sown 9th March and planted 4th April... then it snowed on 6th and I was convinced that they would die.
