Kitchen Garden Forum

I could make up veg boxes for people.

This week they would get a variety of lettuces, cut and come again leaves, rocket, a mixture of chinese leaf vegetables, pea shoots and micro leaves, radish, baby beetroot, baby carrots, broad beans and new potatoes - all fresh from the tunnel tent.

Jerusalem artichokes, leeks, spring greens, asparagus, spring onions, spinach and purple sprouting from the garden, along with a vast array of fresh herbs.

Apples, onions, walnuts, garlic, shallots and dried chillies from storage.

Plus a selection of pickles, jams, ketchup, chutney and anything else they like from the larder.

Hi Tigger

Sounds good! Do you deliver?

Sounds good Tigger, I come close to you, I do have early peas, and carrots, baby turnips, leeks, onions chard, lettuce land cress, sorrel, all the herbs sre romping away, some flowering, some seeding (lovage )
Broad beans are tall and in flower, they are not in a tunnel. Rhubarb has been good and we are just picking the first strawberries, long strings of blackcurrant waiting to colour up.Jostaberries formed but not yet coloured Loganberries and raspberries, pears and apples forming, sweet Cherries beginning to turn red, the morellos are still green. Oh and tomatoes are formed but not yet ripe. Melons and cucumbers are a bit slower. Achocha and peppers tall peas and runners are growing well. The brussels and Kale are romping away and I am about to plant the sprouting broccoli. All we need is some rain, the last three forecasts of rain didn't materialise.
The one disappointment was the mooli, they went to seed before the roots formed, maybe all the sunshine did for them. Also the kiwi that got caught by frost the previous year is flowering much later, the outdoor grapes are forming on the vine already though.

Hi NB

So it's competition time now

If you send me one of your boxes I'll send you some of our perpistant rain
