As my Aubergines look as if they have blight,  I'm not putting them back in the greenhouse to risk the tomatoes  :ohmy: - so I've just picked any fruit of useable size before the rain starts. Something from them at least  :)

Also tipped out a tub of potatoes that were blighted and got a 'shop-sized' bag of new potatoes, also better than losing the lot!

Cut a Hispi cabbage for coleslaw later  :)

Poor you  :(  I react badly to red ant bites as well, so I know how painful they can be  :(  Hope you are feeling a bit better now.

Not my harvest as such, but emptied some display wooden veg planters at work yesterday ready for a replant and put a whole crate of stuff in the tea room for everyone to share - new potatoes, beetroots, broad beans, spring onions and even some garlic  :)

It really got everyone going and you could see a few cogs turning where people were thinking ' wow this growing lark is OK isn't it'.  We've already had lots of toms off display planters and even an aubergine or 2, so fingers crossed a few of them will give it a go next year  :D

One cucumber, a couple of sweet green peppers and a bunch of spring onions (the ones that the rabbits did not find). Could have picked some baby beets but decided to let them grow a little longer.

That sounds great New Shoot. I can remember the same interest when I worked at School and took in spare tomatoes and beans. It's time and effort as well as space that's needed on top of the enthusiasm.  ;)

My harvest: one cucumber and no ants!  :)

Yesterday's harvest was a good bunch of runner and mixed french beans, too many courgettes (contribution left on the bench for other plotholders!), chillis, a nice crop of ripe plum and mixed cherry tomatoes.  It really feels like summer when the tomatoes start cropping!

I have a plan to use my huge round courgettes as soup bowls!
