Handfuls of cherry tomatoes (Sungold, Bajaja) and potatoes (Duke of York), 3 courgettes, 3 raspberries, 2 strawberries and a decent handful of blueberries. Absolutely agree with Ananke - its lovely to have a "shop" at the other end of the garden.

My friends and relatives allways start our conversations with "No, we dont want any more courgettes" I chased the postman down the road today with a large courgette in my hand, God knows what the neighbours thought.
I've just been out to get things for the salad I'm now eating:
purslane
shepherd's purse
runner beans
Little Gem lettuce
sage
parsley
chives
mustard greens
nasturtium flowers
- and, by accident, a tomato that came off in my hand while I was inspecting it. It's our first ripe one but not ripe enough, so it's minding its own business on a window sill.
Is there anything that isn't made better by half an hour pottering in the veg patch?
Carrots, onions, courgettes, tomatoes, potatoes, kohlrabi. Absolutely brilliant to have a meal for which the only things that didn't come out of the garden were a knob of butter and a little grated cheese. Even the electricity used to cook it with was generated by my recently installed solar panels.

Bush tomatoes have started to ripen, the beef ones are on the turn. Onions were harvested and drying out and the carrots have been stored in a box of sand. Hubby has been lost to the peas, I may never see him again.
5 sweetcorn cobs for freezing, 5 kohlrabi, a big tupperware full of blackberries, some windfall Bramleys for the blackberry and apple crumble (yum) and a hand of tobacco.
