Some of my tomatoes are bursting out of their skins - I presume it's a result of a sudden influx of water. They're mostly small Sungolds. They still taste nice though.
Some compensation for a complete lack of french and runner beans. Always next year I suppose.
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

Gardening organically on chalky, stony soil.

I've got 12 feet of climbing beans (Goldfield (French, yellow), Fasold (French, round) and another (French, flat) and some Runners.

For the first time this summer I've got a glut.   As for toms, everywhere!

WEll, some of them are 'volunteers' from last year - a cherry/black russian cross is particularly delicious... growing in the middle of the lawn - I didn't have the heart to weed it out.
