I have been harvesting leeks throughout the winter but now as the days are lengthening there were some young spinach beet leaves
and some "self sown"lambs lettuce to be picked.
The lambs lettuce is particularly welcome. I have been quite good about not buying imported salad stuff this winter but I miss not having something green to put in sandwiches and I am getting fed up with sprouted seeds!
The fastest growing plant at the moment is the rhubarb.
I didn't pick any today as it could do with growing just a bit more but it won't be long now and then I will feel that it really is spring.

I love seeing your plants! It's amazing how much is growing for you already! Someday I would love to plant rhubarb. Yours looks wonderful!
Hello -- just writing to say that you can find my hot cross bun recipe by clicking the link in that last blog post, or going directly to www.blackberryramblesrecipes.blogspot.com
Your allotment sounds productive and fruitful, especially the rhubarb - oh how I envy you those! We planted some last year - it grew for a while before disappearing never to be seen again (presumed dead).
I'm trying scarlet kale as both a salad leaf (in its early stage) and a vegetable-proper in the later stage. We're currently running out of window-sill and back-bedroom space as the beans, herbs, leeks, asters and fennel all fight for space!
