Sometimes life is just a bowl of cherries

Oh tanith I have never tried peas on my cereal. Sounds delicious bloody awful. But whatever floats your boat, as they say...

any ideas whats wrong with my runners anyone they are only growing to 2/3ins and then the beans are swelling and they are too tough to eat?

Walking up the garden picking - and immediately eating -raspeberries.

I also love cherries and asparagus in season. In recent year DH and I have decided to try to bring back into our lives all those small treats that peppered childhood and many of them were based on only getting food, mainly fruit and veg, in season. So asparagus is limited to when it is available in our local farm shop, who grow their own. Dotto raspberries and strawberries, plus what we grow in the garden.

Some fruit and veg are home grown only, and therefore weather dependent. Broad beans and runner beans are home grown only. We have been eating home grown broad beans for several weeks and have a good crop of runner beans coming, but this year we have had few new potatoes and the mange tout have been limited compared with last year's glut.

Fresh peas and raspberries from my garden I pick some every morning to go on my cereal.. can't beat it and happily OH doesn't like them.

Loganberries! Still waiting, though. I also love peaches and nectarines, and really miss them when the season is over.

Another cherry fan here but I also love raspberries. In the veggie line fresh shelled peas and runner beans top the list. DH is trying to grow some scarlet pimpernel runner beans but the climate here is a bit dry for them - I am hopeful though as we have some lovely red blooms and a few small beans appearing.

I picked my first wild blackberries of the year yesterday, whilst the sun was shining. Gorgeous!

Wild blackberries mmmmmm

Cherries for me too.

Aka

Blueberries from the garden. I have to grow them in pots of ericaceous compost but they have been wonderful this year.

I like to scatter them on top of a bowl of crunchy cereal with a dollop of Greek yoghurt and a tiny drizzle of honey. YUM!!

You have all lowered your chances of getting prostrate cancer apparently with all this cherry eating.

I have devoured more than my fair share if cherries this summer vegasmags they are my absolute favourite fruit and I simply cannot resist them. Our local Morrisons has had them for £1 for most of the summer and they are so juicy and gorgeous .

Cherries and asparagus. New potatoes if they're locally grown, too.

Bilberry (especially Vaccinium myrtillus) is also known in English by other names including blaeberry /ˈbleɪbɛri/, whortleberry /ˈhɜrtəlbɛri/, (ground) hurts, whinberry, winberry, windberry, wimberry, myrtle blueberry and fraughan. In several other European languages its name translates as "blueberry", and this may cause confusion with the related plants more usually known as "blueberry" in English, which are in the separate section Cyanococcus of the Vaccinium genus. In Europe including the British Isles the bilberry grows natively in the wild on acidic soils (whereas the blueberry is native to North America).
Ah ha! Bilberries, not seen them for years. They used to grow wild behind our house in Scotland when I was a lass.

I'm going to have to google 'whinberries'.

My broad beans have been great this year. I love them when they are tiny, in a salad with mint and feta cheese. I haven't seen whinberries for a long time.

Young broad beans and, when I can find them, whinberries. Love cherries, too!

Probably asparagus but I do look forward to fresh peas in the summer.
