Strawberries,gooseberries-all 12 of them  :mad:,a few cherries,even less red currants  :( & some of the ripe black currants. Lettuce leaves,kohl rabi & the daily 3 eggs. I also brought home all the winter onions & garlic to dry as they were getting too warm in the tunnel.

Whoopee:  6 runner beans and 2 courgettes.  First ones and all small but lots more to come.
Had loads of redcurrants but a bit meagre on blackcurrants, maybe birds got em.
Had a few loganberries but a bit disappointed;  they're at the end of the row so probably didn't get as many square meals and mulch as the rasps further inboard.  Would bending one of the new canes down to start another plant, further into the bed, work?

Yes, bend it and peg it down, then in the Spring, you can lift it, cut through the old stem and move it, if it's a bit too near the old one. Did it with my both my Loganberries and Tayberries. Free plants  :D

Carrots, cucumbers ("English" and what we call slicing), and wax beans (yellow French beans).

Deer have pruned most of the leaves off of the okra and peppers, I've repaired and reinforced the fence, but harvest of those will be delayed.

Green & yellow french beans are doing fantastic & I’m harvesting bags full every few days but yesterday , well
Let me show you....
I’ve only ever harvested 2 in any one year & even then they were small, but yesterday I got these 4 in one go & there’s loads more on the tree. The new planter has really come good.

The runners are not really flourishing after all.  The OB next door but two says his haven't  even started.  And the dwarf French have only a few on and they're all shrivelled.
I guess shortage of water despite hosepipe ( no longer ) and cans

I just picked a handful of allotment runners today, all the new flowers are just falling off  :( So unless we get some rain soon, I don't think there will be any more - and they're my favourite veg.

I'll just have to rely on the tee pee I planted a bit later in the garden, cos I can water them from the can  ::) My arms might end up longer though  :nowink:
Picked 2 Trombas  and 2 cobs of corn :)

Picked a bunch of green and wax French beans today.  The greens are really starting to produce a bumper crop.

I picked a punnet of mixed berries (Tayberries, Loganberries and Oregon thornless blackberries) that's the end of them, now.
Cut another small Tromba and a couple of sweetcorn cobs, plus a handful of runner beans. The flowers are now falling off without fertilization, because of the heat.
The other squash are setting fruit now, although 3 out of 4 that should be Uchiki Kuri aren't orange, they're yellow striped instead, so who knows?  That's so annoying   :mad:
