Picked my first bowl of strawberries - ate half with breakfast and I'm about to eat the remainder in the next 5 minutes! I like June, she brings all the tastes I've missed since last year.

I agree with you re young broad beans, but I'm always torn between mortgaging a larger crop or eating the babies. Enjoy your strawbs, very decadent, strawberries for breakfast,. Mine are coming in thick and fast so delicious especially as they're all mine  . I do believe June visits you first , you always seem to pick the goodies before anyone else (not that we're competitive you understand).

Not really a harvest, but I brought my last sack of stored onions home from the allotment shed. I put about a quarter of them into the Dalek as they had started to sprout, but I could have used the sprouts as spring onions.
The rest are now at home hung in a net bag outside and should last us through to the first of the Japanese onions are ready. If I was desperate I could start eating some immature Japs but it seems there is no need and I can let them fully mature.

2 heads of cabbage and a bunch of carrots for my son and daughter in law, grand daughter got a carrot to chew on, she loves them fresh out of the bed.
