Two cucumbers, couple of tomatoes, green peppers, runner beans, chard, baby leeks.

Made a lovely pasta sauce (except cu) with the addition of garlic and a dollop of philly...yum.

Here's  the onions I took to the local show. The one that didn't win the largest onion weighed 3lbs .25 or so the ticket said. The other 3 won 2nd prize so I was very pleased.

First (ever) sprouting brocolli.  :) Some more rainbow chard and a red onion for the dinner too.

So I guess my harvest was rainwater in the garden buckets  :lol: :lol: :lol:

Nearly the last of my first early spuds (and that's it as I don't have room for later varieties.)

These are Lady Christl; only 3 plants this year which were grown from "volunteers" left over from last year as I couldn't find any LC seeds this year.

Quite a good yield, although/because they're not what I'd call salad potato size!

(Oh yes, and my first spud with a slug snoozing inside it with a couple of spotted snake millipedes keeping it company, which is not bad really to say the foliage died back about 6 weeks ago and they have been left in situ; one of the few advantages of having such sandy soil I suppose!)  :)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

Six cucumbers, six courgettes, six beetroot, 4 sweet million tomatoes + two leeks.  :) :)

My cukes are going crazy - even the one that I thought was about to expire has recovered and is fruiting well. Should have at least six to pick tomorrow.

One squash that fell off the plant, two punnets of raspberries which are going into some experimental spiced bramble jam, some runner beans, a bunch of shallots, a couple of courgettes.  Also picked about 3 kilos of blackberries (12 punnets) from a nearby hedgerow, made some straight up blackberry jam, prepared my bramble jam and blanched and froze the last of the french beans.
