2025 - Picked my first...........

Peach - yesterday...and 2 more today.

I bet they were nice, I'm dead jealous.

Ruthje tomato. A new one to me, and first impressions were good.

First courgette

First time harvesting a tiny bit of chives today. I'm chuffed with how they're settling in, considering they cost me something like 20p. Love the yellow stickered herbs in pots.

First tomato, a small galina.

First ever, yellow plum from a tree planted several years ago. I had given it a warning that if it didn't do something useful soon, it would be for the chop. Good to know that something listens to me.
It was very nice too - there are some more, not ripe yet.

I did the same thing to our two pear trees last season. They've only cropped well twice in  about 40 years, I'm surprised they're still standing. This year they both have an acceptable crop, if birds don't get to them. They have a stay of execution.  The weather this spring must have been to their liking.

2 first Evers for me. Golden beetroot and elephant garlic

The only plums here looking ripe now generally contain grubs. And wasps are already after them (the plums unfortunately not the grubs). A job for tomorrow morning is to hang out as many wasp traps as I can put together, 5 so far.
