Apple trees ,plum trees and pear trees......well trying !!
Learning about pruning etc quite in depth....

 

[TheBadger]

I’m growing mainly weeds at the mo.

 

[DXX]

Apples, pears, blackcurrants, gooseberries, raspberries, blueberries, rhubarb, sugar snap peas, runner beans, spaghetti squash, gherkin cucumbers, purple sprouting broccoli, black kale, beetroot, lettuce, herbs and the inevitable radish.

 

[Lubrown]

A moustache!

Not edible per sé but I can store beer foam in it!

 

[Lukavell]

Apples, Pears, Plums, Figs, Hazelnuts, and Rhubarb.

Got to keep it self regulating until I stop working away. They'd never get watered!

 

[Sabre]

No idea. The one that hasn't yet come up is chilli but the rest is anyone's guess.

We started out with those but apparently we're mostly growing slugs and pigeons now.

i built a sleeper raised bed back in January, and am growing the food items we eat the most. Garlic, onions and spuds. Also have an apple tree (great for apple pies) and a pear tree that the wasps get pizzed on

Rhubarb.... 3 crowns and already amount of fruit off is mad. Pear tree, blackcurrant bush, 3 apple trees and a plum tree. Also a raised strawberry bed made out of half pallets. In summer will get approx 1 small ice-cream tub full every morning. That's throwing the overripe ones or ones with small insects in to the hens!

Too many strawberry plants. Approx 60 in bed... Lots of flowers appearing so fingers crossed for a bumper crop!

 

[JumpShip]

Fat....ter !

I’ll be picking 60-70Kg of blackcurrants in the next 2 weeks, eating the things twice / day all year when at home.

We've got a couple of blackcurrent bushes in the garden, you must have a bigger garden than us!

 

[DaveD]

Peas.
We grow a few rows of peas and our children (all in their 20's), and Grandchildren, follow my example. Whilst picking some pods for dinner, shell one out and eat the peas.
They're delicious and so far none have made it to the pot for cooking.
I love watching my Grand children eating the freshest vegetable ever eaten and loving it. They can't get enough of them!

I'm challenging you all to try it and see if you disagree!

 

[JumpShip]

Will let you know when we're passing Dave

Used to do this when mum and dad had a big veg garden. They're gorgeous. I prefer them raw like this.
Regarding blackcurrants, I'd have to find a few places to scrump them from to get any. I do pick blackberry's later tho

About 12 sqM of blackcurrants, never prune and cover them in wood ash from the woodburner. Branches are so heavy they are on the ground.
