    The carrots aren't huge and only 2 runners beans big enough to eat but it's a start, i'm pleased with the crop of potatoes too considering the pots they were grown in weren't that big!! :thumb:

    All looks good, Ruby.

    I never had luck with the peas last year, yours look nice and plump, Fresh peas are a treat and I bet they taste great.

    Ditto all the other things too. Well done.

    Thanks folks, they all tasted fantastic, I can't wait for my sprouts & onions to be ready if that was anything to go by, I just wish i'd planted more lettuce now, they've been lovely but there's always next year! :thumb:

    Ruby looking good girl doesn't it make you feel great knowing you have grow them I think it adds even more to the pleasure of eating them. There still is time to grow some more lettuce as we are still sowing and reaping the rewards of repeat sowings even now. Hel.xxx.

    A fine crop. Next year try picking your broad beans a bit earlier and cook them whole in their pods. The taste is similar to asparagus. Once the pods start to toughen up you obviously can't do this.

    My harvest today!

    You may known I have a dustbin growing potatoes.
    Well ... this morning I just had to dig in with my fingers to see if there was anything there.
    Got about 6 inches and hit this.
    Have you ever seen such a clean pot?
    I shall look forward to its demise.

    Well done robert, like you say it is very clean, what sort of soil are they in? There must be lots more of them in there going by the size of the tops.
