I forgot! Yesterday I picked the first 3 tomatoes off Red Robin the window sill plant. Whilst they're not the most flavourful, they're usually my first.

Three turnips (plus greens), two varieties of radish (plus greens), three stalks of rhubarb, curly scarlet kale, lettuce, mint, and radish pods.

A large punnet of strawberries.

Broadies and strawberries

Strawberries, a few autumn planted onions and about 10 pea pods. One had 12 peas in which was a right mouthful (and most were 10 or 11). If the mice keep away should have a bumper crop.
Also some cherries, raspberries and about 2kg of red currants.

edit forgot these: Dug up 2 new potato plants 1.7kg of potatoes.

First little harvest of dwarf french beans & courgettes

Raspberries and red gooseberries for breakfast 2 Beth Alpha cucumbers and some rain.

A good handful of raspberries.

A few strawberries

They are Aquilon - dwarf french bean.

I don't know who they came from. I can't find the pack but definitely from a swap. I will be growing these again. Must make sure I don't eat them all as I've only 10 plants.

Real Seeds sell them - or did in 2015 when I bought some.
The swapped ones are from Kitty12345 - "Grown 2018". I have them too.

RS packet " First early French variety chosen for exceptional earliness and productivity. Very long round green pods - up to 20cms! Prolific, stringless and pods are held high for ease of picking."

Well most of mine are 20 cms - I've honestly never had French beans so long but still very fine. Absolutely delicious....it is going to be difficult to save these for seed! I don't know when to stop picking. This is definitely the best French bean I've grown.Get yours in VC! 

Just for you Scarlet  We have lift-off in beans department. Only one lot have grown - guess these are Kitty's as the RS ones were rather old.[attachment=596]
