My first sweetcorn cob (Swift) for two years!
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

The first climbing french beans grown outside on the frame, both purple - sooo pretty :D - and green. I had previously posted that we're harvesting polytunnel grown green ones as there is a spare plant in there. :) There are more courgettes, minipop and lots of chard ready but probably not so ready that they won't keep 'til tomorrow...

A yellow courgette and the white courgette plant has snuck some tendrils off between the compost bins when I wasn't looking, so found several fruits lurking there  :D

The first of my 'golden shrimp' Anellino-Giallo climbing french beans - these are a heritage variety which are supposed to have a great flavour, so looking forward to trying these  :)

Another 2 lunch boxes full of huge lush Autumn Bliss rasps and a bag of Aztec Brocolli  :happy:

for tea last night a nice mixture of purple teepee and blue lake french beans, and some delicious steamed chard (first time we've grown it). Chard stalks and a few apache chillis will go in with the stir-fry tonight.

Three more courgettes, a couple of patty pan squash, lots of yellow and green french beans, a few broad beans, loads of carrots, a cucumber, some rhubarb and five purple top turnips from the plot.
At home OH harvested a full bucket of plums. I've managed to stone and lightly stew a third of them ready to go in the freezer. It looks like it will be a cooking and blanching weekend.

One plum tomato from a hanging basket.... not the best of harvests but perhaps another will ripen eventually.

2 1/2 pounds of Red Alert toms (mostly yellowish or green because the plants are slowly succumbing to blight but they should ripen OK indoors.)

Handful each of Sungold and Sweet Million tomatoes - dozens more to come with any luck.

A 2lb 4oz courgette  :ohmy: (how did that happen - I thought they were having a temporary rest?!)  ::)
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
