Harvest, June 2015.

Everything's going to be late in my garden this year, 'cos I started late!  

But, my first strawberry ripened this weekend!


I've eaten a couple of lettuce leaves in passing too.


Have you eaten anything homegrown this year?

  1. Eee that's so exciting! I really wish I'd starting growing things this year but I think it might be a project for next.. And I might need to learn to keep basic house-plants alive first too ;) haha.

    1. It's never too late, if you planted some lettuce or other greens you could be eating them in a month or so....and the bonus with veggie growing is if you forget to water them the rain will do it for you (unlike houseplants!) :D

  2. I am always so desperate for the first lettuce of the season that I nibble whenever I can. Hope you aren't too late to make it work!

  3. I have two volunteer strawberry plants, and neither plant has sprouted blooms, much less berries. They're unplanned, so I suppose I shouldn't count on anything.

    1. Perhaps they just need some time, I grew some strawberries from seed last year and they've waited until this year to flower.

  4. Whoohoo for the first strawberry. Sadly I picked my last today. I'll have to wait another year for them. But I do have alpine strawberries if I really need a strawberry. They are so tiny that it takes so many for just a handful.

    1. Oh that's sad! I think that might have been my first and last, unless I cover them up quickly to protect them from the birds!

  5. Homegrown strawberries are such a treat & that first one is always heaven!

  7. Everything seems to be getting ready for picking in my veg patch this last week. Already picked some lettuce, radishes, lots of herbs and some raspberries. Exciting!
