My earlies I dig as soon as I start to see flower buds and continue to dig them as I need them. By the time I get to the end of the row the...

You lucky lucky devil. That first home grown tom is always the best, and usual eaten just before it is as ripe as it could be as we are all just...
Amazing how all the plants fill out. It looks stunning and I bet it's alive with beasties and scent.
I will dig out some recipes and get them posted. Haven't made the rasp yet....hopefully I will get to the allotment Monday and have another major...
