Harvest time

This is an example of what I am harvesting every day now. It's grown for flavour rather than uniformity or maturing at the same time, so is quite unlike what is available in the shops. Some is frozen, but most is eaten on the same day that it is picked. I am also picking lettuce, carrots, beetroot, cabbage and the first of my second early Kestrel potatoes - delicious!

Of course, apart from picking things, there is still lots to do - watering, feeding, weeding etc - but things are definitely better this year than last. At this time in 2013 I had not picked any peas or beetroot.
