The onion leaves started to bend over a week or so ago which I think means they are just about ready to be picked.
I don't think the weather has been warm enough to pull them up and dry them out so they are still in the ground apart from this one, the biggest one.
The carrot was also in the onion bed... don't know how, but one solitary seed found it's way in there, germinated and grew.
I picked the courgette smaller than normal as it should encourage others to follow. Similarly with the mange tout, the more regularly you pick the more prolific the plants.
This is also the first picking of redcurrants and blackcurrants; the bushes are surrounded and overshadowed by the strawberries that ran and rooted themselves and the raspberries that I forgot (or rather left it too late) to cut down last season, but are still managing to crop quite well.
