[Suky]

[chris]

Tub of mangetout - that's it. Haven't had any veg (bar salad leaves/lettuce) this year yet..

[Bren In Pots]

A bucket of Arran pilot spuds, lettuce, beetroot and a couple of spring onions.

[rustylady]

4 and a half pounds of Rocket potatoes, a bag full of broad beans and one of peas. 4 courgettes (one nearly a marrow) and some beetroot.

[bethduckie]

Mangetout.

Next year I MUST get the hang of successional sowing. Must. I sowed all my mangetout in one hit this year (tubs)and have had three or four glorious, gluttenous weeks, and it's nearly done. I did manage to sow a second lot last week, but that won't be ready for aaaaaaaagessssss *pout*

Ah well, never mind!

[binley100]

Raspberries, shallots , handful of toms and.................my very first blueberries (ok so there was only three but still )

[Bren In Pots]

Lettuce, beetroot including the tops, spring onions, a cucumber and a couple of toms.

[Suky]

A 'suprise' cucumber, it was hiding behind the cane

[sewer rat]

This week ... Potatoes (Maris Peer), .

Personally I wouldn't have bothered - these are almost the worst potato I have tasted - (IMHO)

[perkin]

More sugar snaps, purple podded mange tout, hot cayenne chillies - all for the freezer.
Had Striata (stripy green) and Gold Rush (yellow) courgettes in a lovely courgette risotto for dinner!

[singleseeder]

Blackcurrants...........loads of em. Found it easier to prune the bushes at the same time then strip the currants off the prunings.

Yup, that's what I do too, on a sunny evening sitting at the garden table with a large glass of wine.

Also, in a previous garden, I had loads of bushes closely planted, so I would cut alternate ones to the ground on alternate years. This gave me only 50% of productive bushes each year IYSWIM, but I had more bushes in the space than recommended spacing and it was a very easy management system.

Am just picking courgettes on a 'late start' plot, but am happy just to have cleared it and keep it tidy for the moment. Will try the first potato plant this weekend with my little granddaughter whose green genes I am trying to cultivate.

[Two_Sheds]

6 peas, 2 toms (it's a hard year, the drought's scuppered everything )

[Gurberly]

Potatoes - Charlotte from bags and Kestrel from the ground - both very tasty.
Raspberries
Blackcurrants - 3 kilos
First lot of runner beans - red rum
last lot of broad beans (Sutton) - should have grown more!
first couple of tomatoes - maskotka, and vilma just about ready
perpetual spinach
lettuce

Agree, quite neutral in flavour, but eaten as new potatoes when small, they are OK .....but I may go back to Charlottes next year.

Today I have harvested my first green beans (climbers), rhubarb (will probably leave that now), beetroot, first "big" cougette of the season i.e. one we missed for a few days, and chillies.
