More produce

As usual, all of my lettuces have come on at the same time, so there's a glut. Anyone for salad? I've planted more seed, and have some more coming along nicely at home.

We tried some of the second early potatoes - Lady Christl - which have a lovely texture (they'll be great in salads) but not as much taste as the Kestrel. Also tried some beetroot, which were quite wonderful, and some pak choi in a stir fry. Most things are growing quickly now, but for some reason the potatoes don't look happy, and the shallots have just given up. Never mind - I shall be digging in a lot of muck and compost this autumn, so we'll see what next year brings.
