yesterday got 2 courgettes, the first of the runner beans, some new potatoes and harvested all the shallots. The smaller shallots will be pickled with the larger ones kept for cooking. First time growing shallots and very happy with them  :)

Runner beans. Carrots. Accent potatoes (hell they've grown big ! ). Broad beans. Loads of beetroot which I baked while roasting the pork. Young parsnips. Plenty big enough for just one each with rhe roast but looking at the length of the roots they are going to be some corkers come autumn. Living up to their name Tender And True, too !. Very intense flavour as were the Early Nantes carrots. Very pleased.

6 courgettes, 1.5kg Ratte Salad spuds from 2 plants, a couple of baby toms and could have picked some cucumbers, but have plenty in the fridge already. Really no idea what i'm going to do with them all as we don't like them pickled. In 4 years on the plot we've had as many this year as in the past 3 years put together.

That's why we've fenced our plot in and have a gate with a lock BQ!
and I can only wish I had anywhere near that amount of Beetroot!

Get a sign "CCTV operational on this site" even though it isn't.  Might help.

Around our way it would be a challenge  ::) it wont stop as they even come on with people on the site, and no-one will challenge them if it doesnt affect their stuff  :mad:

Our site is meant to be secure as well BQ! Didn't stop the local riff raff setting fire to one of the sheds on an untended plot at 5am on Monday morning... site was so secure that the fire brigade had to cut the lock off the gate!
