Just picked and tried the first Mat-su express tomato. It’s a very nice tomato. Will definitely grow again.

Glad you liked it! The first year I grew it, the taste was exceptional. Very early for a beefsteak, too. If its fruits were more consistent in size it would be a perfect variety.

Now you mention it, there is a bit of variation in size. I don’t really mind that. It’s very tasty and seems to have good numbers for a beefsteak. Thank you for recommending it.

Picked my First EVER Mulberry from a tree that was planted about 15 years ago!
To be honest, I thought I'd been sold a dud and had been consoling myself with the fact that it was an interestingly shaped tree.
Before you ask, I did pick it and, although it was obviously underripe I took a bite. Not for long! It was very sour. There are a few more berries near the top of the tree, which are a better Mulberry colour but they'll have to wait until I have something to pull the branches down.
Mrs Mulberry is a mother at last. Big Grin

My first CFBs - mostly District Nurse, aka Grace's sister.. They'd grown so tall that I couldn't reach them at the top of the canes. I had to cut the top off the cane, to lower them enough to pick!

Wow. Grace is only just beginning to flower.

Picked the first two sweetcorn for yesterday's dinner. They're a bit later than last year probably due to the fact the got transplanted later too. I must say I really like home grown sweetcorn, it's like carrots and tomatoes, nothing commercial quite matches them for taste.
