The first harvest...

I thought it was about time I told you what was going on in my garden, so here's one corner of it...

From left to right I have Parsley (just from Sainsburys but it's unstoppable!), a small strawberry plant which started life as a runner pinched from my Mum's garden(!), rhubarb (also pinched from Mum) which I can't eat yet because for the first year in a new place you're supposed to leave it (it's going to be a challenge!), chives, spring onions (grown from seed) and garlic, which you can see is all wilted because you can leave it in the ground and then take them all out and dry them so they'll keep (or you can use them fresh). I also have some butternut squash plants in among this lot (grown from seed and started off in pots indoors) and at the back is loganberry.

At the other end of the garden I have today had my first strawberry!

I hope this inspires you to do some growing of your own!
