A few pictures from our tidy up in the sun shine today at the co-op beds. Still an incredible amount of beautiful flowers around! And I learnt today that you can eat fuchsia berries and they taste delicious! PS: Sorry, the kids loved them too, best wait a few days if you wanna try some, to let some new ones ripen...Photos from Incredible Edible Lampeter / Bwyd Bendigedig Llambed's post

Some new pictures from the Co-op beds. Lots of salad veg, i especially love the look of the Giant Goosefoot in my salad bowl with the pink powdery tops. And the courgettes are flowering too.Photos from Incredible Edible Lampeter / Bwyd Bendigedig Llambed's post

Update from our Watson & Pratts Incredible Edible beds: The first courgette flowers are getting ready. Orach needs picking before is starts seeding. There are also the first Runner beans getting ready, salad can be picked now as well as peas and kale. Find a strawberry if you are lucky, and soon the first outdoor tomato of the season!Photos from Incredible Edible Lampeter / Bwyd Bendigedig Llambed's post

Following a little visual tour of the Co-op beds. Lots of lovely berries are ripening in the sunny weather we are having. The orach (mountain spinach) looks very lovely too with it's dark red colour. A tip from Julia: we picked the tops of the orach and steamed them for about 3 minutes to go into the salad in the picture, made with young broad beans and broad bean tops as well as raw beetroot shavings and some other salady things. Wilted orach could also make a good Goth Salad for anyone who doesn't want to eat green food, maybe with beetroot (raw and/or pickled) and tomatoes. It stays lovely and firm even when wilted. Enjoy the sun!Photos from Incredible Edible Lampeter / Bwyd Bendigedig Llambed's post
