The first of the kohlrabi was pulled; they are still young and so they are lovely and tender. I have successionally sown them so I won't have any old and woody ones which don't make good eating.
I also picked:
Peas which are really good this year, I guess it must be the wet weather keeping them nice and plump.
Beetroot which was also good and tender.
Onions: the overwintered ones had started to keel over and were not going to swell any more, it's not been a good year.
Broad beans: there are plenty of these with big, fat beans. I've got so many that I have cooked them all, popped them ot of their leathery skins and froze them for later (stir fries are nice).
Strawberries: a lot have rotted on the wet ground despite the straw and they aren't overly sweet due to the lack of sun but they make delicious ice cream and smoothies.
The greenhouse is all set up for the summer now. The aubergines and sweet peppers have been moved from the top to the middle shelf so that they won't touch the glass. The tomatoes, cucumber and melon are all growing fast.
I managed to find two places to grow the leeks, they look neat an tidy in their holes.
