We braved the rain this morning, popping out between downpours to collect our second-crop Broad Beans. It's the first time we've tried growing a second crop, but the first was such a washout due to lack of pollinating insects that wew thought we'd give it a go.
What a result  :D
We grew a variety called 'Meteor' for the first time, and I didn't even sow the seed until mid-June. I put them in toilet-roll inners (which I always use for my broads), planting them out a couple of weeks later. There were two packs, so about 30 or 40 plants probably, and they grew like - well, beans! We've harvested about 3 STONE of pods, a big recycling box full, so it'll be black-stained fingertips tonight as I pod them all and blanch them for freezing! I'll make sure I get this variety again and plant them earlier next year, as they are tasty as well as fast growing, and only two were hit by blackfly (unlike the first crop, which turned black with aphids). Highly recommended  :)

First Courgette of the year, and 1 runner bean again first of the year. Boy it's been a slow year hopefully no early frosts up here.  Good job the onions and tatties have done well!!

Globe artichokes, destined for tomorrow's lunch salad. Minipop, a few chioggia beetroot and a load of french beans, which will all go into today's stir fry for tea. :D

Back to my garden after 2 weeks in Spain, so a quick tidy up last night with a few veggies picked:

One beautiful, shiny, large purple pepper (4 more to pick on the same plant)
4 enormous Vienna F1 radishes (with about 20 more to pick, although sadly, my last sowing before the holiday got drowned as I forgot to put holes in the bottom of the pot)
2 gusto purple chillis
and accidentally broke a branch of my apache chilli plant, with a couple of red chillis and about a dozen green ones

Also had the first 4 sweet-n-neat yellow tomatoes, and picked a few green tomatoes off a couple of forgotten seedlings that never got transferred to pots or growbags yet have still produced a few small toms each!

Lots more to come, as plenty more peppers on the six different plants I've grown, all my tomato plants have produced some green fruit while we've been away (even the troublesome summer cider tomato that I had given up on), the dwarf purple teepee beans have produced a second crop, and the climbing green beans have also started producing. The Swiss chard has gone completely mad (several plants have leaves as big as dinner plates) and there is a huge cucumber on one of the two plants. Still no courgettes, mind you!
