From left to right: Inca F1, Marmande, Red Alert, and Sweet Million.

(Best tasting? Sweet Million, by a mile; the other's aren't bad but I always intended most of them to finish up as pasta sauce!)

Some people just have too much time on their hands

Love it!!!! = I could probably write every word in the dictionary with my courgettes.............................................

I havn't been to the lottie for around 6 days due to other comitments but finaly managed to get there last night.

I harvested 6 florrets of Callabrese, 9 Courgettes some rather large so i gave them to the neighbours   , 4lb of toms and the very last of the blueberrys.

I planted 4 Sungold F1 plants as i'd heard they were very nice (and they are), that was a little overkill i think as they are out cropping all the others by 5 to 1.

The Allicante are also cropping now as are the Gardenners Delight and the Cherry Red.

The Roma's are still well away from ripening but are making good size.

My first proper cuke (Carmen), just under 12" long.

O well done, for at least getting one

Yesterday I picked three indoor and two outdoor cucumbers, one sweet pepper, and half a dozen sweet million tomatoes and half a dozen beetroot.

Today - one cuke, spring onions, a couple of tomatoes and one leek for OH's soup.

Its a very expensive cucumber    I've learnt bucket loads about looking after them for next season, so its been been a total loss.

I hope you'll share all the knowledge with us (I couldn't even keep mine alive long enough to not fruit!)

Harvested a few more White Lady runner beans which are threatening to produce a huge glut very shortly (weather permitting), more raspberries (lots more to come), a few strawberries (getting a bit smaller now but still coming), and thought about having a peek at the "oldest" sweetcorn cob (the batch sown and planted a fortnight after the first haven't quite caught the others up but have managed to grow to their "proper" height; an interesting experiment which I think will have been a success if we don't run out of summer first!)

I'm relieved they came out OK - always a worry when you recommend something!

[DD.]

One row of my onions from sets, (Centurion), plus a beer can I - errrrr - found. Two more to come. They are mostly about 4 1/2" diameter.

Daughter's comment was that they were huge. I had to explain that these were the small ones and the "Kelsae" plants are much bigger and still growing.

Dwarf beans, 2 almost red tomatoes, 3 strawberries and another tub of blackberries...at this rate I'm never going to be self sufficient but everything is yummy!

Also picked a tub of hazelnuts (cobnuts?).... there were none on the ground yesterday but loads in the tree, today there were loads of empty raided husks on the ground and far fewer on the tree so I thought I'd better grab some before Squirrel-nutkin went back for seconds

Wow, those are really big cans of beer then DD!
