Courgettes, sweetcorn and mini corn from the plot.  There is more to get, but we were on foot so only took the urgent stuff.  There were raspberries, but OH decided they would be safer carried home in his stomach  ::)

Tomatoes, peppers, baby aubergine and french beans at home.

Been away from the plot for few weeks due to hols and apart from lots of weeds  ;), everything has grown such a lot.
Dug up last of my charlotte potatoes, some red and white onions, a few pak choi, (bit nibbled), a very large courgette,
raspberries, plums and a few pea pods.
The tree is loaded with plums and so many have dropped and are damaged.
Back tomorrow with a bigger container for more. :D
Offered plums to plot neighbour and in return got a variety of beetroot which was lovely as none of mine germinated at plot. :( Will sow them at home next year and transplant.

Kestrel spuds, which are now moving into main crop size, beetroot, more baby corn, loads of french beans, greens, some rasps, plus the first of the squash.  One of the spaghetti squash plants has gone over completely, so I took the fruit home to ripen the skins for storage.

A couple of pictures - cucurbit corner with the spaghetti squash, various courgettes picked over the weekend and cukes.  The orange one is a lurker poona kheera cuke which has ripened.  Unfortunately it was too close to other cukes to save seed from, but the chickens will eat it.

4 types of green veg clockwise from top left - cabbage, erbette, malabar spinach and huauzontle.  The malabar spinach is a nice thick juicy leaf, sort of like a beefed up baby spinach in flavour, but with more of a purslane texture.

Autumn rasps are ready now and picked bowl full of really large ones.

Onions, spaghetti squash, loads of sweetcorn, loads of french beans, cabbage, greens, rasps and fennel.  I spotted 1 fennel plant starting to bolt, so harvested the lot quickly. 

I grew the fennel this year so it was in the partial shade of the mini corn.  Its done pretty well and managed to bulb up before getting silly and going to seed  :D

Stuff I missed yesterday. The first of the borlotti beans, possibly the last of the mini corn and some pears off my new trees.  I was advised to take the bigger ones to ripen at home so wasps didn't get them and so the smaller ones had a chance to swell a bit.

Lots of French beans, some peas, baby carrots and baby parsnips to go with a roast dinner. Brilliant.

Dug the first of my autumn King carrots.... just to see how well they had done on a new plot.

Delighted as I hadn't thinned them or paid a great deal of attention to them -
*weeded when they first came through and a swoe along the rows a couple of time but nothing more

Result: good sized carrots, no carrot fly damage and lovely flavour - (Budgies enjoyed the tops too)


As for everything else... the usual: potatoes, beetroot, pears and apples, late (yellow) raspberries, (spring) onions and loads of flowers. Quite happy to have something now that "Dad's Plot" is a think of the past.

Autumn leeks. spring onions, courgettes, french beans, fresh borlotti beans and greens from the plot.  There was a Tromba squash as well, but he was too big to fit on the draining board.  He's sitting along side the spaghetti squash in the greenhouse just to make sure the skin is cured.

Also picked lots of Chilean Guavas.  There are as much again on the bush still to ripen, so not bad for one little plant in a pot  :D
