Hi Eliza
Yes, the raspberries and cherries were ridiculously early, starting in mid June. The spinach went to seed late May, as did the pea shoots. We had Boltardy beetroot ready by the end of May, but this is my first year getting a good crop, so I do not know how early that is.
I sowed my cucumber a bit late but it now has plenty set and loads of flowers. It grew 5ft in about 4 weeks! Long Green Maraicher from the OGC.
Ditto courgette only went out last week of May, but I will cut first fruit this week and the leaf stand is the best ever. Good compost seems to make a huge difference there. Some Italian sounding strain from Seeds of Italy.
How about you? And where are you based? (I am in NW London).
