This
was our 2nd picking of early potatoes from the small tunnel (June 3rd) and our
first picking of baby broad beans from outside. We eat the first broad beans
pods and all, like mange-tout.
The raspberries are so successful in the tunnels. A net over the door keeps the birds away and they are good rain or shine. Raspberries like to hide under the leaves, there are always more than it seems at first.
These were a few of the first raspberries, June 2nd.
This photo shows the new fruiting raspberry cane (green) for next year coming up

are summer raspberries and after fruiting the brown cane is cut down
near the ground.
