Our french beans are out in force in the first bed, second bed are in full flower too. Doing very well. Everyone else is picking runners yet ours are not ready yet. They are starting to set.

My first spaghetti squash (which I never saw growing!!) I saw the smaller one next to it, moved a leaf and there was 1.9kg of squash!! Duh!!

I have 2 plants from the same seed packet, but this squash is green, the other is a creamy colour?

I look forward to hearing how you find it I have been tempted to grow in the past

Had my first Cape Goosberries yesterday. I'm growing a dwarf type now 25" high 20 fruit on each. Packet says it has a hint of pineapple in the taste. It does. OH liked it as well but not sure whether it should be in the salad or the fruit bowl.

Anyone in the Swanley area want some redcurrants-I have far to many for us to use.

Hi DD, regards my swede. The variety is Joan from real seeds. I sowed them in a 24 cell module tray early March in multi-purpose compost and germinated them in my poly-tunnel. I got 22 out of the 24.  Planted 2 in tunnel, which I pulled a few weeks ago. They were about 4" across. The other 20 went outside in my prepped Brassica bed, around about early April I think. (Sorry don't keep records) Brassica bed was dug over last October and a good 3" of well rotted cow manure spread then left till Feb/March when it was lightly forked in. A couple of weeks later, I put lime on bed and left to be rained in. Prior to planting, I put a few handfuls of chicken pellets on bed, lightly forked in and then firmed the whole bed by doing the Geoff Hamilton shuffle. All my brassicas are looking good especially the swede. The one I pulled yesterday, was a good 4" to 5". I must admit, I've never grown them as good as this year. The foliage seems to be twice the size as previous years.
