Salad days


We have started to enjoy the first crops from our vegetable patch, which we created over Easter: spinach, which is the plentiful crop in the mid foreground here. We're also growing beetroots, courgettes, tomatoes, mint and broad beans.

By the way, I use the title "salad days" in its original sense, i.e referring to a youthful time, accompanied by inexperience, enthusiasm and idealism.

  1. I picked my first tomatoes and cuke of the season yesterday - it always thrills me. The urban farm!

  2. I have a very small courtyard garden which is mostly paved & am on a waiting list for an allotment with about 70 people in front of me... so I am envious!
