Down the allotment today harvested my borlotti beans, more tomatoes and peppers, watermelon. cues, raspberries and apples. More courgettes...............
Made several apple & raspberry crumbles to freeze
I picked some more green beans - they are slowing down a little now that the days are getting shorter - plus lots of carrots of all shapes and sizes, some gladioli, more courgettes (sigh) and some unblighted tomatoes.

I got this lot from the tunnel today. Toms, courgettes, cucumbers. Of all the types of tomatoes I grew, I really wanted the yellow ones most. I have one yellow one. The rest had better get a move on and ripen soon.
There are carrots in the background but you can't see them. Ironically the first one I pulled, I gave to the dog and every one thereafter was smaller.

Bag of Victoria plums (gave them to a neighbour), there are loads more to ripen! About 8lbs of greengages - girding my loins to make jam with them and enough runner beans for me for supper. There are some hooge courgettes (marrows) at the plot and I keep looking at them and wondering what I can do with them! No, I don't have room in the freezer. And no more ratatouille! Maybe a cheese and courgette quiche tomorrow and some 'gifts' for the neighbours.
Ok Veggie, I`ll save some seeds for The Virtual Seed Parcel, how many would you like, 100 or so? A word of warning to those who wish to grow them, one plant needs plenty of space!
Yesterday I harvested a couple of kohl rabi, a purple cauliflower, more French and runner beans, more crystal apple cucumbers, an armful of brassica leaves, some tender stem broccoli, and some beetroot.
I was lucky to be give a couple of fennel bulbs and a new type of kale to try by one of my allotment neighbours. I managed to give him some crystal apple cucumbers in exchange!
