My homegrown harvest, May 2018.

I've just had a few little pickings from the garden so far this year, but the first of anything is always the sweetest!

These are onion scapes - unopened flowers from my Siberian perennial onions. Nice in a stir fry but they're a bit slimy to be honest!

I'm not entirely sure what variety these are, I think some are red spring onions and some are baby leeks - they came out of the raised beds as Joe was emptying them to be moved.  They're very strong!

'Scuse this terrible phone photo, but this is the first kale I've picked this year.  In fact I think this is the first kale I've successfully grown, so yey!  I know you're supposed to be able to pick it all winter, but my plant was only little so I waited for spring to come and for it to grow a bit more before harvesting from it.

  1. Just herbs for me this year, but as fresh herbs are expensive I'm happy with that. I noiced at the weekend my very neglected raspberries are starting to flower so that's something to look forward to!

  2. Oooh, impressed by the kale!!!! I've got a Cavalo Nero plant that my Mum germinated for me and it is doing well in the ground surrounded by slug pellets but it is flopping onto the ground so I hope it is ok and the slugs don't get it tonight!!
