About as much as you like beer
First courgette tonight. Plants just about survived the late frosts and slug attacks.
Had our first spuds on sunday. Charlottes from the greenhouse- just lovely.
Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn .....you've beaten me to the ultimate prize. Have 2 courgettes which I've been saving to pick tomorrow
. Strawberries coming in now though (Missus shares them with the tortoises) and broad beans developing well, first new spuds toninght. Had a nice drop of rain and now a week of warmth will see things shoot up.
How can you have courgettes already?
that is what I was wondering
We've been eating them for about 3 weeks or so (p'raps more, thinking about it). The present Mrs Fat Bloke put them on too early, we think, before end of Feb I think it was. They were inside for ages then outside and being fleeced up seemingly every night (they went outside and then it turned really cold again...). We were lucky they made it, I think.
Mind you, they suffered in all that rain last week; we lost quite a lot 'cos they got waterloged.
I didn't know I liked courgettes as much as I do (had some in a prawn and mushroom linguine last night - flippin' fantastic).

Picked the first 3 little ones tonight, added them to the omlette. Also salad leaves and new spuds from the garden.
no courgettes or spuds just yet, but the salad leaves are good, I think it must be a lot colder in North Wales
We have the following on the go -
Courgettes,spuds (5 types - 1 early 4 main crop), broad beans,peas,lettuce,leeks,sprouts,cabbage,sweetcorn
Have had nowt yet apart from a few lettuce leaves
We planted our courgettes last night. We're 1000 feet up in the Peak District, so we're a bit behind many of you. I was hoping to get them in the ground in May but our on-line vegetable plant supplier let us down somewhat. We have 4 courgette plants so I hope to have some courgettes by mid July.
