Litle bit of this, little bit of that from the garden makes a salad

Out with friends today so I cooked some small lentils yesterday evening. This morning I went into the garden and got some rocket, chives, broad beans, swiss chard and my first (two, very tiny) tomatoes, cucumbers and some raddish seeds and made a really nice salad.

I added some oil from a sundried tomato jar and some olives.

I forgot I had some basil in a pot in the conservatory as I would have added some leaves of that!

The cucumbers are Iznik greenhouse cucumbers from the Organic Gardening catalogue, at their best when only 7-10cm long. I have two outside and two inside the conservatory. Will definitely get these again for next year.

My friends and I had our packed lunches sitting in the garden by Waltham Abbey alongside long flower beds full of cornfield flowers. It was a very pretty show, and the bees and hoverflies were taking full advantage of it.
