Courgettes plant has begun producing fruits - it's a globe courgette plant, which is entertaining. I've had a lot of mulberries and blackcurrants as well.
Growing food rules
They are early croppers and I got them sown in late Feb. Only kept one plant as the allotments were not sorted in time so it's on the balcony in a pot. Had a few frost rescues (bringing it indoors!) but it's doing very well.
The weather here has been quite poor for warm loving plants to be honest, but the rain has reduced the work I put in.
The tomatoes I grew last year were a later fruiting variety which had a huge crop in September/October.

One of the nice things about growing tomatillos is they are usually imported - you're saving yourself a lot of money and a significant carbon footprint because it's much easier to transport seed.
Next up you'll want a propagator I love mine - it's small, but easily gets peppers, tomatoes, squash etc off nice and early. I sow peppers in December (!) to get good strong plants indoors, and I've already had one harvest from them this year with another huge one to come.
The other great thing is growing salad leaves - leaves like romaine, lolla rossa and even baby gems are so, so tasty when they're picked the morning you eat them. If you put them in a fridge for a day you'll be surprised at how much more "dull" they taste.
