Harvested the last of the Kestrel spuds, good sizes but still only three/four per plant! Picked two oversized corgettes and tied up the runner beans that were escaping.

Picked some runners and a few carrots. Just getting to many runners to even give away and I cut down to four six foot rows. Spuds have about finished and were a big disappointment. Had a nice stir fry veg last night with courgettes, onions, tomatoes and a few shop bought mushrooms. Tomatoes are starting to be coming out me ears. Still haven't started on chutney's or tomatoes for freezer yet.

Quick trip to the lottie this afternoon, or so I thought. Ended up with 4 lb runner beans, 1 and a half lb french beans, 2 marrows, 4 lb potatoes, 10 lb Sturon onions, and 1 cabbage. Struggled to carry the harvest home, and I'll have to go again tomorrow cos I noticed some broad beans ready. From the greenhouse at home, 4 cayenne chillies, 12 oz Sungold tomatoes and a few Gardener's Delight.

5 more courgettes, 4 lbs runner beans, 9 lbs second early spuds from a potato bag (1st and 2nd earlies all dug up now, 8 bags=56 lbs potatoes! Still 4 bags maincrop to go - yippee!) 9 cucumbers, green peppers, 4 lbs huge moneymaker tomatoes, 5 beetroot, 6 carrots (neither of them seem to be doing very well in my high alkali soil), 1 lb dwarf french beans and some early brussel sprouts. Also have been given a big carrier bag of plums and one of apples. I'm so busy cooking and preserving.

Another bag full of beans for me today...its a good job we love them!
Also, I tested two of the sweetcorns today and they look ready, but I am leaving that until the water is boiling! Two small cucumbers that I pickled, and strawberries that didn't make it to the kitchen!My mind works like lightning, One brilliant flash and it is gone!

Popped to the lottie for a quick harvest after work, didn't get home from there till 8 pm. Haul as follows: 1 courgette, 8 oz french beans, 1 lb 12 oz runner beans, 6 raspberries that didn't make it home, and 2 lb blackberries from my neighbour's bramble border (I do have permission, and anyway the b***** thing attacks me every time I try to access my plot)
