Still picking Beans and Cucumbers


The beans are still coming, 2 kg picked on this run, although the dwarf French beans are nearly at a end the cobra and hunter climbing beans are still producing loads, with plenty of new flowers that will turn into even more beans.

Those crystal lemon cucumbers are certainly heavy croppers, they just keep growing and growing, picked another 10 today, started eating these now as a quick snack while down the allotment. Eating them just like apples.

The beetroot are doing great still, these where harvested for my mother to have as we now have plenty of pickled beetroot. We do have plenty more in the ground still with a second sowing now poking their heads up.

Picked a few more courgettes as well, as unlikely as it seams we had run out of them in the fridge at home.

A single Yummy Sweet Pepper was ready, at the orange stage, so brought that one home to add to the others in the fridge.  May use these for another Hot Sauce along with some hot peppers.

  1. That harvest looks very yummy, are you producing more than last year ?
    Is the quality up to previous years ?
