Our first New potatoes

and here they are. They were saved potatoes from last year. They could be Duke of York.Had a busy day at the allotment as the grass was very long, I managed to get hold of a petrol lawn mower which was brillant. I roped hubby into cutting the grass as I couldn't manged as it keep cutting out as it was so long and the ground is very uneven. Everything is in full swing now growing well. Courgettes are starting to form i'm growing green and yellow as well as patty pan too. Runner beans are looking ok not as good as other plot holders but..........maybe they aren't the dark leaf sort. Again they are a saved seed from last year even though when looking through my seed collection I had brought a couple of packets. French beans are starting to flower. Lots of cabbages are in and cauliflowers too. Still have brocolli and savoy cabbage to plant but I need some more net. Kohl Rabi I planted yesterday looked a bit dead today but maybe they will come alive again.

Garlic was ready to harvest and it was a good crop. I grew two types Garden centre Cristo and a couple of blubs from the green grocers. Both came up with the same results really not much different but i'm yet to try them and also see if the cloves formed ok. the picture is of cristo.

Jaguar peas and we had our first crops of these today too. Never managed peas before so i'm very pleased.

I found another packet of peas Kelvedon Wonder and planted this too and they are coming through nicley too.

Swiss chard

This evening was a lovely meal it was great to be able to have our veg again as we haven't had anything really since the PSB and kale & cabbage. I've brought the odd cauli and one head of brocolli, carrots but mainly had frozen sweetcorn and peas so looking forward to the change. We had broad beans (first crop this year), spinach, new potatoes with fish. I even manged a pudding of look at these (from our back garden)

They were the best so sweet. Have a good week everyone hope we get a little rain as i've got a busy week so will not manage to get the allotment.
