Found a red currant bush loaded with berries today down by a river.. so I had to remove them to save them from the birds!!  Then made a mixed jelly/seedles jam by adding some raspberries.. So I call it jamelly..
Now a member of the 10 Ton club.... 2013  harvested 588 Kg from 165 sq mt..

Three small mini cukes - amazed as a few weeks ago the plants looked as if they were going to die. One small sweet green pepper - the first this year - I prefer them when they are green to when they ripen to red - a much fresher taste.  :)

Went to pick some spring onions only to find that the last of the ones ready for picking had been chomped down to the ground - suspect a rabbit which I had previously seen on the patch - it if is not the weather it is the wildlife that we are battling.  :(

Dug up all potatoes as the foliage had got blight.  Large trugful of potatoes.  The main crop were a bit on the small side, but some of the charlottes had bulked up (much to my relief as the early harvest were terrible).  I picked some round yellow and green courgettes - and gave them to a fellow plotholder.  Finally, I also harvested some shiraz and golden mange tout and purple french beans.

Three mini-cukes, a few toms, a few cherry peppers to stuff & freeze and two lovely looking dedo de mocha peppers.  :)

200g of gooseberries off the potted bush in my back garden.  Last year I only got 6 berries total, so this is excellent, and there are some more still on the bush.

Courgettes!! You're doing well.

I've one or two of those round ball shaped courgettes gradually developing..... they are so late this year. Marbles rather than tennis balls this year.  :mellow:


And no unnecessary comments needed, thank you - we all have our problems.  :lol:

Yep, 4 courgettes. Thought I'd better pick them quick before the slugs got them.  I have two of the round courgettes as well but they're not doing well.
I'll refrain from unnecessary comments :D

Today, picked the rest of the peas as the plants have been sitting in a waterlogged part of the plot and are dying.

100g jostaberries -  at least you can't get them in the shops.

Belana first earlies, 5.5kg from 10 plants.  Haven't tasted these yet!
Rest of the Golden Nugget first earlies, another 1.5kg, making only about 3.5kg total, but they are much smaller.  these are yummy.

First of my Champion of England peas, hooray!  Some broad beans, and all of the Music garlic.  Apart from 1 bulb, all a bit smaller than I anticipated.   A good picking of strawberries, half a dozen raspberries, handful of blackcurrants from new bush and the last of the redcurrants.
