Haddock's is now providing plenty of Courgettes, Swiss Chard, Curly Kale, Cauliflowers, Onions, Salads, Radishes, and a selection of fruits including Red Currants Tayberries and Cherries.
We're still having to buy Tomatoes, but our own won't be long.
Give it another couple of weeks and we won't be buying any more veggies until Winter.
And just look at my Cauliflower. I wish I'd noted the variety name, the pink blush is beautiful. It's almost reverting to a type of Purple Sprouting Broccoli.
Does anyone else have this colouring on their Caulis?

Morning Cro - I am so envious of your produce so early in the season - it is so wet and cold here that nothing is progressing - the only thing I have eaten from the garden are salad leaves - pretty pathetic isn't it.
I think it's particularly early here; everything seems to have grown so quickly.
They look so good. Just had a bowl of soup here but it was carrot, celery, onion, kumera and, I just realised I forgot to add some butternut squash. Still it tasted great. Spring vegies would be nice though.
I have never seen a cauliflower with that colouring, but it's magnificent! You just can't beat cauliflower, cabbage, carrots, broccoli et al ...
Great progress Cro! We're just hoping to get the polytunnel up and the plants moved without killing anything this week, that'd be enough for me :) Enjoy the sun!
Still plenty of growing time, especially in a polytunnel. Good luck.
We've never had much luck with cauliflower - the heads never seemed to develop. We planted Swiss Chard for the first time this year and it's coming on well - not sure what to do with it though cooking wise.
Personally I never eat the white 'ribs'. The green part steams like substantial spinach.
given the cold and the wet my "bosoms" is lagging behind somewhat!
Not fair that my comment has to follow John's lagging bosom comment. How can I compete? I can not, so no point in trying
I'm sure that John's 'Bosoms' will soon be overflowing with milk and honey.
Oh, and watch out for Blackfly!
I've never seen a blushing cauli like that, it's beautiful. It's winter here but I've got chard (called silver beet here) and kale growing, they don't mind harsh weather.
Beautiful Harvest Cro!!!!! I am getting yellow squash, that's it.
It must be nice to be self sufficient when it comes to vegetables.;)I love the blushing cauliflower.;)

Like you, my veggie garden is about two weeks earlier than past years. A wonderful combination of daytime sun, mild temperatures, and evening rain is producing what I think will be a bumper crop.
Your cauliflower is a work of art. Hope it tasted as good as it looks.
We just had half a day of monsoon like rain I am expecting to find most of my crop washed off the hill.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my pickle recipe. I know, many recipes call for sugar, it's kind of refreshing not to have any. I hope you like them when you try them.
I have to say, your veggies look delicious! We won't be seeing anything for another month here in New England! Can't wait!
gorgeous! Do you have a special recipe for that blossom covered zuc? Do you eat the blossoms?
The cauliflower is indeed pretty with that blush. I've been finding yellow curry-colored caulis in the store lately. Taste a bit nuttier than the usual. Yum.
I'm a bit lazy when it comes to eating the flowers, so they usually end up on the compost. I really must make more effort!
Hi Doc... sounds like bad news!
Your cauliflower looks lovely enough to wear as a corsage! Our salad greens are coming up smashingly and we look forward to the first homegrown salad of the year. So far we've just had strawbery rhubarb pie from our wee farm.
