Just thought I'd share a pic of tnites harvest after work to show that all's not lost to this crappy summer!   ;)

To say I'm chuffed with the return in my 1st full year on the plot is an understatement considering the weather  :D

Hopefully you'll have the same luck and never give in!

Well done, its photos like yours that helps us all to remember why we crawl around in the mud pulling up weeds, and cursing snails!

Hope it all tasted as good as it looked!
Very often quite lost- would be more lost if I could work out where I was!- But always find my way home.....

That looks so beautiful! I would frame it as a reminder for those not-so-good times. Well done you !  :lol:
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.
