Salad leaves only at the moment - oh actually, basil, coriander and lovage too.

And 9 lbs of rhubarb. +f+

Watercress, spinach and rocket - but I'm still supplementing from the shops at the moment, because I eat a lot.
Wild strawberries (If I can pick them before the chickens do!)
I did a few potatoes this year & we ate them all this week.

Wild strawberries, mint and salad leaves.

Not too bad as I only actually planted the salad leaves. The mint is truly feral and the strawberries escaped their pot 2 years ago!

Just salad leaves here too but I'm reliably informed the radishes are almost ready ...... I don't like radishes {cry}
