What was your very first harvest?

I must have grown things on my granddad's allotment when I was a kid but don't remember anything in particular. However, I do remember the garden in our first house after marriage. It was a square of grass with shrubs/flowers around it - very boring. My first change was to clear a patch and plant beans and, would you believe courgettes. Big Grin
The garden wasn't very sunny so, even though I'd never had a GH before, I knew I had to have one, and the only place was on the flat roof of the extended kitchen! A window in the back bedroom was turned into a door and the bathroom was alongside so watering was easy - which was just as well, because it was also the year of the big drought (1976). Saved shower water from the bath was used to water the GH. There were no slugs or snails up on the roof and those first tomatoes, the first I'd ever grown, were wonderful.
Incidentally, that GH moved with us to our 2nd home and moved again to become GH2 in this house. Its about 47 years old - Happy Birthday GH2. Big Grin
