| Well, there is a serious pat on the back for you! So you came in half-way-through and grew those gorgeous caulis - you can go off people, you know!  Well done, Alice, you deserve every delicious mouthful!

Actually, I have a tablecloth like that. I made it about 4 years ago and it's all fruit and vegetable fabrics - it's called Five Portions a Day! By the way, really well done Alice on getting so much with a relatively late start - and so far Up North. But then, you always did have green fingers!

| Yes, well done Alice - you've done more in your short season than I have managed in a whole year! You beat me to it Flum, I was going to say to take Snadger up on that bet

| Beautiful. Very very impressive. And what amazes me (apart from everything else) is how clean your veg is! All scrubbed up for a photo parade (I don't think mine is that clean even when I eat it!!  )I think that fuit and veg quilt might turn into a project for the winter...

| Thank you everybody. I'm well pleased given that I started with nothing but gravel and grass in March this year. Flummery - fabulous patchwork - love it. Small blue planet - the book would be very short Choose your site carefully - south facing and sheltered Give plenty of TLC Take piccies of your best stuff.

| wow! wish my first year had gone as well as that!!.. every brasicca I put in the ground seems to get eaten by something no matter how much protection i give them (very jealous of your cauli, looks delicious), my tomatoes are all green still and I have 2 whole peppers coming (and I don't know if they're lipstick or chilli thanks to a labelling cock up  ) |

| Becca, take some piccies. You can enter them in the showcase - there is a category for berries. Good luck.
