Very nice haul tonight. There were 2 litres of 100s&1000s but I managed to palm them off onto my god-daughter. I am particularly happy about the strawberries, the squashes and the sloes. I may have some lovely sloe gin for that winter celebration we aren't allowed to mention yet!  :D

Apples were from Mum's garden, had to go over her way for the sloes, and the fields are absolutely dripping with them.

Shame - there are almost none at my allotment site either. Don't know why the 2 places are so different.

Oh my word  :ohmy: note to self: NEVER leave beans without picking for 5 days  ::) SO many beans  :lol:
Luckily there were also broccoli, courgettes, chard and kale to alleviate the bean-picking boredom  :)

Leaving my runner  beans now to fatten up, but I've really enjoyed them  :D, I've got a late sowing of dwarf french wax to use now anyway.

Pulled my first ever swede and a few more turnips up- it's so much more fun to tug them out than the battle with clay and a fork I get at home,
Brought home my last cordon tom (Alicante I think) to hang up to ripen in the polyhouse and spotted some forgotten spinach I'd planted around the base of the toms when I put them in back in June- weird, but completely slug and bird-peck free despite being forgotten.  May start bringing the squash home but nervous about cutting the Butternuts or acorn squash in case it's too soon.

At my parents' house this weekend, and came away with half a carrier bag of Bramleys, half a carrier bag of quince, and an ice-cream tub full of damsons :) (these are about thesweetest damsons I've ever tasted! usually they are a bit too tart uncooked, but I tried one anyway, and they are very tasty! And a huge improvement on last year when the trees were almost free of fruit).

Then got home and picked a few things from the back garden, mostly tomatoes, but some courgettes, peppers and chillis too. Decided to pick most of the currant-sweet-pea toms as the vines aren't ripening fully but those that are ripening are starting to split.
