During 2022, to celebrate my sixtieth birthday, I aim to harvest sixty different vegetables, fruits, herbs or edible weeds and flowers from my garden and allotment! I’ll list them all here as I harvest them. If you’d like to support a cause close to my heart, you can sponsor me for my other sixtieth birthday challenge, which involves a lot of swimming.

My, self-chosen, rules for my sixty at sixty is that I’ve harvested (and cooked or eaten) edible fruit, vegetables, herbs, flowers or weeds from the garden or allotment during 2022. I’ll list them all here, with photographs if at all possible, in order of harvesting.
