The weekend's harvest

Things are really starting to take off now which means that we can eat something other than broad beans and eggs. Talking of eggs, production has eased off. We are assuming it is the broody/moulting season but it at least gives me a rest from cake making for a while.

We dug a row of early potatoes, some carrots from the greenhouse, fennel from the greenhouse and the garlic that was planted in the Autumn as well as the first couple of beetroot.








Add to this two more boxes of broad beans...








A box of strawberries and a box of raspberries....







A big basket of new potatoes, I call that a meal and a half.







The new potatoes deserve a bit of an explanation as I realise that scale is not clear here. New potatoes are supposed to be small and sweet. Although sweet with lovely skins that just rub off, they can't really be described as small. This basket was too heavy for me to carry.
