Lettuce, chervil, sorrel, rocket, mustard, mizuna, purple sprouting broccoli, little baby carrots, peas, mange tout, broad beans, chickweed, various herbs, onion greens.
Garlic looking almost ready, Japanese onions going to be given one last period of bulking out, first early spuds can't be THAT far away...
Seems all summery now, won't be long before we're snowed under with courgettes! |

Rocket, lettuce, sorrel (yumm, never tried it until this year!), land cress, watercress, couple of peas and I need to pull up some radish to see. Spuds just coming into flower, fruit bushes are covered in green fruit and the hop has already outgrown it's poles.
Yeah, garlic looks great, much better than last year on the plot where it got rusted quite badly.
Would feel more summery if it wasn't wet and rainy though! |

Leeks (last year's), wild sorrel (just moved the cultivated, so not picking till it recovers), nettles. Still sowing and planting out up here.
You southerners, eh ? |

I may live down South, but don't call me a Southerner! 
I need to do some more sowing and planting out too  |

Still sowing and planting here too, and other than a few (a bit past it!) leeks left in the cupboard and some frozen, it'll be a while before I can have any more of those  |

Chard and Orache thinnings, radishes, last of last years exceedingly late leeks, rhubarb, strawbrries (well only 5 so far), elderflowers (from the hedge around the veg patch) and snippets of various herbs - not much but it is soooooo lovely to be picking my own stuff again after nearly a year in gardening wilderness  |

loads of rocket, but that grew happily all "winter" so I'm starting to get a little fed up with it!
also had the first radishes and a few lettuce thinnings, keep eyeing up the carrotts but they're still a little small as yet |

Things planted last October - Broad Beans (Aquadulce Claudia) and Arctic King Lettuce (surprisingly good); asparagus, now in 3rd year; I dared to dig the first potato because they're so lovely when they're tiny - Swift, planted mid-March (the leaves were looking a bit brown on one plant, so I thought I'd get rid of it just in case ......) We only had a handful of tiny spuds but we ate them as a starter with the asparagus (lots of butter, of course). Delicious. |
