We had our first new potatoes at the weekend!!! they were AMAZING! Did manage to cook them before gobbling, though ;-)
Also strawberries and garlic (not together, though).
FINALLY, all the work is starting to pay off! it's an awesome feeling!

I have yet to ever cook any of my peas because I always eat them stood in the garden.
I am the same with the strawberries,in fact last year DH commented on the fact that he didn't know why we even grew strawberries because we hardly got any crop.After thinking long and hard and wondering whether to confess I admitted that I'd eaten most of them:eek: but I have promised to share them this year and typically we have got a bumper crop.He is going to think this is the quantity I eat every year!!

Pease straight from the pod - is there anything better?! :T

There should be a rule that prevents home grown peas making it as far as the kitchen. They just have to be eaten straight from the pod and the taste is superb - just don't let the peas get too big though!!

I've got just one row of Meteor about to be picked - but as for the rest!!! My local pigeons are smarter than I am. Early one morning they worked out how to jump on the bird netting, heavily enough so it squashed down and they could nip off the young shoots. Then the mice started on the, as yet ungerminated, seeds. Still waiting fr the re-sowed rows to recover.

Congratulations anyway, charliee - glad you had better luck!

Me too, we ate a few pods worth of Feltham First peas yesterday:jmy 4yr old sat in the bath chomping them out of the bowl ( a change to sweets!) it was made all that bit special because he planted them at a RHS show in a kids planting tent & has been watering them every day since & watching them grow.
Even my fussy hubby who i never thought would try them did & said they where gorgeous!!! it makes it so worth while when you reap the rewards & kids see the process from start to finish it gave him a real sense of achievement.
