Harvest time!

My friend Tony has already started picking his runner beans - mine haven't even got flowers yet!

But I did pick my first tomato today (though all the rest are green so it will be a while before I pick my second).

The loganberries and the raspberries are over, as are the blackcurrants. But I am getting fruit from the second redcurrant bush for my breakfast supplemented by blackberries from my neighbour's overgrown garden.

Today I picked blackberries from Leyton Marshes and the crumble is in the oven as I type. Really large berries!

I got spring onions, carrots and leeks on tape from Thompson and Morgan. Disaster! Nothing at all has germinated.

I enjoy getting stuff to eat from my garden, but luckily I don't depend on it.
