I've just posted under another thread about cheese and tomato sandwiches with my own toms as a high point in the gardening year. Next is probably the first runner beans, followed by the first Broad Beans.
What are your veggie high points, top 3!

First new potatoes. 
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

Runner beans
Tomatoes.

What constitutes attitude in your salad Geoff?

Forgive me my ignorance, but what are tiger nuts?

I remember buying them from the sweet shop when I was young (a loooooong time ago). Looked like knobby dried up bits of brown pea but tasted delicious..nutty and coconut and almonds.
I've got them in large pots outside now but I started them off in the propagator.

For me it's been a fabulous year, the highlight will be French climbing beans picked in October assuming this summer continues.
I had to deal with pests like everyone though nothing failed and it's almost as if my soil has become super-charged, the exception is the poor germination of the grazing rye that's been sown in two raised beds. I blame the seed, do we ever know how old some seed is ?

How are you supposed to start and maintain a healthy lifestyle if it completely removes a wine lover’s reason to live?

Strawberries.
New Potatoes.
Beetroot.
I was desperate for some strawberries this year and bought some English ones from Asda. pffftt. They were almost tasteless.
When ours were ripe a couple of weeks later.... mmmm mmmm. Wow!
I will never buy them again.
