Dug over the potato bed and sowed a green manure of mustard.  Dug over the onion bed and sowed forage rye.  Put in the last of the leek plants.  Did a bit of sporadic weeding and watering.

Loads of french beans and a lovely plump beetroot.  Both were yummy!

Actually, not the best roasties ever but pretty good..... Perhaps their newness out of the ground, I don't know.  :unsure: Still we'll try them boiled, mashed, baked and as chips and wedges too.  :)

Some dwarf french beans, plenty of plums (oodles left for the wasps too), spring onions, tomatoes (totem - not very tasty, mental note to try something different next year), a cabbage, and finally some mixed salad leaves.

Four cucumbers (made cucumber pickles with them) and a handful of small tomatoes. Did not even look at the courgettes - will pick them later. Lots of sweet peppers ready to pick and some chillis ripening - soon be time to make chilli pickles.

The rest of the spring planted garlic - some good sized ones at last.  :) A couple more courgettes I think that's 5 now!  :lol:

Handful of runners - White lady this year based on recommendations here, (not impressed with yield or flavour so far). 1 solitary beetroot and a few white currant that the birds had missed.

Might get my first and probably only cuke tomorrow - fingers crossed.

You reminded me - another couple of Crystal Lemon cucs too. They've done well this year. The Marketmore has a couple of large gherkin sized fruits on it now, which should be reasdy in the next few days. It'll have to get a move on if its going to give us much of a crop before its too cold again.  ::)

the weather here hasn't suited White Lady this year, Lardman  :(

Plot next to mine has superb crop of St George, so I'm growing those next year..they will save me some seeds  ;)

Courgette fairy has struck again! and I picked a spaghetti squash and a red cabbage :)

runner beans, purple beans, 2 courgettes (again) and a small tub of raspberries.
I picked a tub of blackberries on the walk back and scrumped some crabapples dangling over from the railway line ;)

Now if the Co-op had had some sugar I would be jam making...but surprise surprise they are out of stock AGAIN >:(
