Tell me about your favourite edibles.

[PeepsAndSheeps]

I am trying to fill our garden with edibles. I love the satisfaction of growing things we can eat and making whole meals from the garden (with the help of eggs from our hens). I love our fruit trees and raspberry canes, although the trees are still young so we aren't getting too much from them yet. I have bought some perpetual kale cuttings and I am hoping they take.

What are your favourite edibles?

Artichokes and asparagus. Peak Mumsnet, I'll get my coat

Blackberries and rosemary

'Edibles' is surely Peak Mumsnet

I grow food and my tomatoes/courgettes are always plentiful and much nicer than those from the shops. Also green beans (in pots or the slugs get them) and potatoes. I grow lots of herbs in pots too, including perennial chives, thyme, sage, rosemary, tarragon and mint, and I plant basil, coriander and parsley every year. For fruit we have rhubarb (too late for this year), strawberries, raspberries, casselles, grapes, blackcurrants, gooseberries and mirabelles. Our neighbours have cherries so we trade! We have a tiny garden! Tomatoes, raspberries and mint (fresh mint tea!) are probably my favourites, though I love the rhubarb as it's the first thing out after winter, and all the herbs because I never have to think about buying them, just grabbing from the terrace.

I was definitely expecting something different from this post!

My friend hated artichokes which took over part of her garden. Unless new varieties are easier to manage I'd research them before planting any. Also mint should only be kept in containers or it will spread like weeds.

Strawberries, blackberries, pumpkins for Halloween, lettuce, cabbage, Brussels, carrots, runner beans, rhubarb

Strawberries, rhubarb, asparagus and blueberries all look after themselves in my garden. I plant garlic, courgette, lettuce, beetroot and a few other bits around the boarders most years.
