What was your very first harvest?

Two memories as a kid of 4 or 5 around gardening: one accompanying grandpa to the church allotments he called 'Holy Ground' to pick PSB, in my view then the food of the gods, and a little later at around 8 or 9 in NZ being conned by mother to weed out oxalis bulbs, she gave me a penny for each hundred I collected. I soon sussed out it was slave labour and went on strike.

Looking at the very sparse records from our first garden circa 1975-8, there was much lettuce, carrot and radish experiments, all failed. Broad beans seemed semi-successful. Like Veggie then came a gh in 1982 which has followed us everywhere and been moved several times and is still going strong.
