At last....I have tomatoes. I was starting to worry I was being left behind. Sungold and one Incas which fell off into my hand, a bit underripe.


Still very cucumber heavy. I thought one plant wouldn't be enough!


More rhubarb.


And beans, salad leaves and land cress.

Love the photos - a very artistic harvest.  ;)

I'm on my second lot of rhubarb - my first harvest was back in May, and by the time I'd finished, it was nearly all gone.  When I come back from my jollies, a few weeks ago, it had all sprung back up - lovely.  Also, I've just picked the last of the peas and in total, I've had over 10lb of them:)

Sadly not been to the plot for awhile due to illness, most of my lettuce has bolted, radish in flower, 1 courgette that the squirrel got to first BUT I went up the other day and picked 3 large bowls of tomatoes Gardners delight and pearl. Gardners pearl are a free packet with a magazine and I made the mistake of putting them in the greenhouse bed  :nowink:

Went to the plot expecting just courgettes and to my surprise 4 Cherry Red and 12 Sungold tomatoes were ripe for the picking.

I hadn't been for around 4 days and found they had begun to ripen, plenty of others were beginning to show colour too so the harvesting begins  :happy:

Also got 7 courgettes too  ::) and a cup full of blueberrys.
