Eating from the garden

So far today... raw shelling peas, a strawberry (they are tailing off now), and snap peas and spring onions with rice as part of dinner. The raspberries are coming along nicely, beans are galloping up the fence, soup peas need tying up again, winter squash and cucumbers are starting to run, tomatoes have lots of flowers and a few small green fruit showing, carrots are nearly to the point of pulling babies.

Non-successes this year so far: corn (only about 5 came up and they are looking very sad), chickpeas (three came up, though they are looking OK and will make seed) and one lot of sunflowers which just aren't getting enough sun.
