Pity they’ll all the same colour but might be down to me using saved seeds from last years flowers.

They pretty much always come true from seed, so I just keep a couple of pods from each colour so I can keep the varieties separate. A couple of seedlings of each colour is all I need.
I'm tagging some of mine this year as I was left with only pinks one year due to saving from one plant only!!

My first cucumber and a bowl of tomatoes (Three Cheeses High). I admit to grazing on a couple a few days ago so not quite my first.

I'd picked the pods from 3 different areas in my garden but didn't tag them.   Will do next time though.   

I shared the seedlings with my neighbour so it will be interesting to see what colours he ends up with.

Picked my first (small) bowl of raspberries - enough for my breakfast granola.
Another of those tastes of summer has arrived. Smile
