  • Loads of toms, 4 cucumbers, runner beans, more courgettes, 2 peppers for in Beany Chilli this evening.

    Also, a punnet of blackberries from behind the shed
    While wearing your night clothes, plant cucumbers on the 1st May before the sun comes up, and they will not be attacked by bugs.

      • De-junglified the greenhouse yesterday and found 3 more big cucumbers - aarrgghhh! What am I going to do with them all? Toms are coming thick and fast and OH and I went and foraged 3 pounds of blackberries from the towpath hedges. And there are loads to come.

        • There are loads of blackberries to come along our lane too - just hope they don't decide to do it while we're away next week >

          Today I are mostly harvested golden beetroot (really lovely), runner beans, parsley, chives, a tomato and a courgette.
          Is there anything that isn't made better by half an hour pottering in the veg patch?

                • Yesterday I arrived at the plot having been away for two days and found a ridiculous number of purple and yellow French beans that NEEDED picking. This is my first year with a plot and I can say it really is true that you need to check for beans on a daily basis. 🌱😀

                  Also cut a load of chard, kale, two cucumbers, a large ish patty pan squash and a courgette. A good little haul.

                  • 4 punnets of cherry tomatoes (they've gone bananas this year), 2 courgettes, a load of carrots (they've got carrot fly in places so I'm making soup), blueberries and a late strawberry.

                    Ordered a freezer to go in the garage as my kitchen one is full!

                    • A carrier bag full to the brim of our own blackberries!
                      Tis the second picking and it looks like we may only be about 1/2 way through the ripening fruit!

                      Too tart to eat as they are- but make the most wonderful bramble jelly! YEY!

                      • Apples - the massive cull we gave the tree in February certainly hasn't stopped it fruiting this year.

                        12 minipop sweetcorn cobs.

                        Purple French dwarf beans and purple climbing beans.

                        1st sweet dumpling squash.

                        2 lemon crystal and 1 muncher cucumber.

                        Broccoli side shoots.

                        Various tomatoes. Good haul today.

                        • More red and yellow cherry toms (Yummy), rocket and a Dragon's Egg cucumber (all eaten for lunch)
                          A bowlful of brassica leaves. I've no idea what they were, I just pick a leaf or two from every plant - so its cabbage, kale, sprouts and broccoli. Can't tell the difference when they're shredded and steamed

                          • Too wet to go to the lottie, so just some tomatoes from the greenhouse at home. Sungold, Auntie Madge, Gardener's Delight, and my first Blue OSU.

                            • Two (rather small) courgettes and a couple of tomatoes, woot woot. And I opened the last vat of pear chutney from 2011.
                              Is there anything that isn't made better by half an hour pottering in the veg patch?

                              • Today I went to the allotment to start work on the new plot. I meant to cut a load of chard from my current plot to make a swiss chard pie but it was raining so hard and I forgot my scissors. So instead I picked all the cherry tomatoes off the two straggly plants that are currently on the new plot. There were several handfuls....which is a really nice freebie.

                                I'll have to go back tomorrow for the chard for the pie, as its my veggie dish for a family dinner on Monday.
