The last of the early peas before the plants came out, a small courgette and three small sunflowers to put in a vase in the lounge.

dug out some rather sad looking spuds, a few onions and some garlic.
Ground somewhat wet so spuds less than perfect.
Hopefully the sunshine will help the crops recover!!

cheers HH
Keep digging

Up early to dig, to weed and to pick - only the second time this year we have been to the plot at 7 am without rain or the imminent threat. Cleared the peas - 10.5 lbs from two short rows, some of them still sweet, but mostly for making gallons of pea soup.

Good yields from a forkful each of Kestrels and Charlottes, and hoping that the rest of ourt blight-stricken tubers will stay healthy, albeit smallish and stripped of their foliage.

The first round courgette of the year (Rondo di Toscano) and lots more coming through. Hope that we can keep the slugs at bay to give them a chance.

Expiremented with pulling a carrot - not many from the spring sowing survived the cold and the wet, but some healthy feathery foliage and this one shows promise. We'll try again in two weeks.

Altogether a good result after everything thrown at us this summer - but on the debit side, stripped the leaves off all of our blight-stricken tomatoes and hoping that the sun will coax some growth from the flowering heads.

Two more cucumbers, spring onions (ones that the rabbits missed), and a sweet pepper.

Pulled up the rest of the garlic.  The elephant garlic is about the size of a normal bulb but pleased to have something tbh.  :)

7lbs of Kestrel from a 15' row! The largest ones were about the size of a coffee mug, and they were all near to the surface which surprised me as they were earthed up three times.
One cuc, one ripe tom, a dozen shallots and enough peas to todays dinner.
