Another row of Lady Christl yesterday - two left now. :) Today, courgettes, carrots, purple and green french beans and a few minipop corn.

Of note... two of the minipop had grown from points on two different plants where a cob had already been removed. Didn't know they displayed this cut and come again type behaviour  :unsure: but they have been worthwhile growing this year, much better than last. :D

Picked the last of the french beans and broad beans and harvested yet more courgettes. Must only put one plant in next year.

More runner beans... a few courgettes (I had let many get too large!), some potatoes from the bag (the yield is no where new as good as from the ground) and some more sungold and 1 beef tomato!

Lots of purple climbing beans

I'm really impressed with these ;), they're doing far better (outdoors) than the green ones (I have one green plant indoors).

I have them in my lunch today, whenever I finally get that...  :unsure:

A few sungold and gardeners delight tomatoes.


Purple beans? I did pretty well with long, thin, French style climbing purple ones last year. (You can see I've forgotten the name). This year not only have I lost the name of them there's no sign of the things growing anywhere although there was some prurple flower amongst the rest.

Lots of cobra (some from saved seed) but, despite putting in several of the purple ones I've no purple beans.Oh well.

Purple have done the best here. :) I'd add this year, but haven't grown them before, a dear friend gave me some seed.

Picked my first Black Sea Man toms today... not a crisp tom as I hoped.. a bit soft   - eaten chilled raw with s&p..
Also picked my first 4 sweetcorn albeit a bit on the small side for supper tonight along with some courgette and leeks in white sauce - in separate dishes of course..
Now a member of the 10 Ton club.... 2013  harvested 588 Kg from 165 sq mt..

Do you use the roots as well Argula?

We chopped down the spring-sown stuff a couple of weeks ago as it was going to seed, and also sowed some more about a month ago, as they survive the winter (or did last year), and in March, the stalks are a very welcome addition to any plate!

The chopped stuff is sprouting nicely, and the new plants have romped away...

If the roots do anything edible - or soupable, then we'll use them!
