It was one of four that survived an extreme slug attack. I had to re sew with slug pellets laid.
I am hoping the later ones will be a reasonable size before the frost.

[Bren In Pots]

Blauhilde beans, black cherry toms, mixed lettuce, parsley, chives, raspberries and blackberries.

[Mr Bones]

Beef and cherry toms, Palermo peppers, lettuce, rasps, beetroot and two figs.

[ameno]

Tomatoes, raspberries, French beans, ripe peppers, two pears.
A bucket filled right up with dry beans, ready for shelling.
Brought back one of my squashes. Weighs 5kg.

Very sad to say I missed my akebia fruits... They had only a single bunch of five fruits this year, and it seems they ripened sooner than I was expecting (I was expecting October). I noticed today that they were purple and split open (they split when ripe), but they had sadly already started to go mouldy...
I'll have to be more vigilant next year. And hope for more than a single bunch.

I had to google akebia fruit ameno ….interesting!

I had some in Japan a few years ago (they're native there). I saw them in a greengrocer and didn't know what they were (they were very expensive, though), so I looked them up when I got back to my accommodation.
A few days later, I was on a walk in the hills and saw some growing wild, so I knocked them down with a stick (the vine was up in a tree) and tried them. I really liked them, so decided to try growing them myself.
In some ways they're a bit of a pain, as they are self-sterile so you need two plants of different varieties for fruit, and they flower rather early, so are prone to late frosts. They're vigorous growers, though, and the plants themselves are perfectly hardy.
For some reason, I didn't actually get many female flowers this year. Lots of males, but only a few female, and only one flower pollinated and survived the frosts in the end (each flower has 2-6 stigmas, and each stigma develops into a separate fruit, hence that one flower made a bunch of five fruit in the end).
Hopefully that was just because the plants are still quite young, and hopefully next year they'll have more flowers, and thus more fruit.

Rasberries, blackberries, peppers, and another bucket stuffed full of dry beans.
