the millionth cucumber, runners, tomatoes, sweet peas.
A couple of courgettes - tea already planned around those - and another 28 cucumbers, making 85 so far now.

I wish I had the knack with cucumbers- 'snot fair  :( *sobs*

Just to make you feel better Mum, here's a pic of my greenhouse Passandra cuke after 6 months of TLC (there's another one in there somewhere but it's nowhere near as healthy as the one you can see!  ::) :lol:)

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

Now see, a few of my cuke leaves have discoloured slightly and gone a bit thin, but the plants still look really healthy on the grafted Passandra I have.
That looks like your greenhouse is too hot Jay

6 more courgettes (taking me to 63 from 6 plants now ;) )
7 beetroot 'Choggia'
A bunch of radishes 'French Breakfast' (the longer I leave them in the ground the hotter they seem to get!
4 'Honey bear' squashes (taking the total from the plots 4 plants to 8 I think - disappointed - thought they would be more prolific) :(

Dug up 26lb of Desiree and 26lb of Maris on Thursday.
The Desiree were very large and about a third a good 6 inches long. Best crop ever.
Not a hole or scratch in sight either.

Picking a bowlful of many tomato varieties everyday this week and a load this morning.

Picked a bucket load of runner beans, some heading for neighbours and freezer.
Picked five cucumbers last week from the greenhouse and outdoor plants.
