In the tunnel
Red salad bowl lettuces are starting to go to seed, which is the idea as I want to try saving seed this year. There are some smaller ones behind, plus yellow beetroot, florence fennel and summer leeks. The meteor peas this end have finished but are producing a 2nd flush of flowers. The Hurst greenshaft further down are getting towards the end. It isn't easy to see, but at the far end I have added one of the displaced black dustbins. That part of the tunnel is rather shady and has never grown things particularly well.
The strawberries have been great this year but are just about finished. Further down are 2 courgette sure thing, which is parthenocarpic so should not mind being in the tunnel. The cucumber (mini sprint) at this end of the tunnel is doing well. The mini munch at the far end keeled over and died one day for no apparent reason.
Across the end of the tunnel are 2 sowings of Terrain peas.
The leeks that will be planted in this apace are just visible on the shelf at the door end of the tunnel.
I really must tame the strawberries a bit before they take over the whole tunnel. The ones nearer the shelves will probably be removed as they are about 3 years old and did noticeably worse than the ones further down.
