I eat one or two every night and I've dehydrated a jar-full (about 6 courgettes).

A very small bunch of sweet peas, a real bonus as the seeds were eons old and only three germinated, they smell lovely and have reminded me to buy some for next year. Any recommendations?

Tomatoes - little tiddly ones from the early sowings.

You could save some seeds from the ones you are growing, you only need a few pods to ripen.

I dug up my remaining early potatoes (or rather my Manchester daughter did), some garlic, cucumbers, onions and beetroots. I was surprised how large the beetroots had grown having been sown mid march. Then a kilo each of redcurrants and gooseberries which daughter took with her. I need about 10kg of red currants for my morning porridge. I've not had many raspberries, strawberries or cherries as the squirrels seem to be partial to those. I need bout 6kg of raspberries as well which I should get in the autumn.
The blasted squirrels made a big hole in the fruit cage while I was away and quite a lot of red currants had been eaten by the blackbirds. Since I fixed the hole, I've seen them bouncing on the roof where it was and squawking before flying away.

Definitely planning that, but with only 3 plants my colours are limited, so I'm going to treat myself to more to get more diversity. Plus it's an excuse to browse seeds

Today I harvested some rather puny garlic and shallots along with elephant garlic scapes and another bucket of strawberries.
