          Peas (2) from flowers allowed to grow on plants that had been used for pea shoots. Needless to say they didn't survive the journey downstairs from the spare room windowsill where they are growing!

            Wild garlic at the weekend. OK I didn't grow it but yum! Am determined to do more with it this year than just sticking it in a cheese sandwich. (Probably won't though!)

              Hey Trip - I'm just starting to grow Spring Onions, any tips on growing or varieties that have worked well for you?

                  First Rocket leaves today, from seeds sown in the greenhouse about 5 weeks ago

                  Especially pleased with these because they grew from self-saved seeds.

                        Not quite the first but ................radish.

                        Love the little beauties.Rhubarb has already been made into pies by my cat owning neighbour who makes lovely pastry (she was a private school cook) plus a few odds and ends e.g young lettuce.

                          Balconi tomatoes!

                          Found these 2 lurking under the rather dense foliage on the window side of the plant - I had no idea they were turning yellow. Lunch brought forward half an hour so I could eat them as soon as possible!
