a pumpkin!!! the biggest I have ever grown, OK, so not a mammoth one, but about 20cm in diameter, as big as the one I took the seeds from that I bought in a shop. Also lettuces, raddishes, carrots, still rhubarb (how come you can pick it all year round here? in the UK it had a short growing season), potatoes, tomatoes and wondering about digging up the yams as the tops have died off.

ooooo pumpkin envy

I've one butternut and one flat round green one (can't remember variety but they're delish) left from last years harvest. There's a couple of portions of pumpkin puree left in the freezer then that's it - til October!!!

Been pureeing up my butternuts to get them in the freezer fast before they go off. My potirons are starting to rot at one end but I've made enough soup from them (which I don't like!) so they can just rot!

Still eating leeks and curly kale, and digging up spinach beet plants for the chooks.

I still have about 30 or so purple onions left too. And loads of walnuts!

Still spinach (even tough I ahve dug up 2 out of the 3 rows!), still quick broccoli (from real seed), was very impressed how they just keep on coming, still hamburg parsley which is amazingly hardy, and a few spring cabbages which should have been left a little longer but couldn't resist!

no harvesting yet- well, except my bayleaves and rosemary.
one of my baby tomato plants is now 3 in across and about 2 in tall though.

I thought you'd have it up by now!

I'm hoping to find some time next week (more or less off work) to get something started... Sorted through all my seeds yesterday, found a few things that should have been dealt with months ago

(mushroom spawn, for example - not the first time I bought some and it went rotten!

). Realised that I really don't need to buy any more seeds

- what's spring without buying new seeds!

But I did harvest something today - some nice big leaves of my walking stick kale. For the goats, btw, although it is possible to eat it, too.

I did harvest a Pak Choi a couple of days ago. I don't know quite how or when it got planted but, over the winter, it came up in one of our containers, survived all the frosts and was a tasty addition to dinner. This year I might deliberately experiment with late planting more of the same.
