Went away for a week, now we're back:
Harvesting:
Cherokee Beans - got a few two days ago and a decent serving yesterday
Runner Beans - smallish numbers, but there seem to be relatively few runner bean plants, and a lot of borlotto plants for some reason.
Peas - second generation of peas has started out in force, high volumes, little pea moth.
Potatoes - Newspaper said to harvest all potatoes before rain and slugs get at them, so I dug up some PFAs yesterday - huge yields or huge potatoes, also digging out roosters at mum's - moderate sizes and ok yields.
Tomatoes- first of the tomatoes being harvested. The non-marmandes appear to be doing v poorly, perhaps because we were less successful in pinching out the offshoots.
Carrots - still harvesting, very mixed sizes and success rates, some forking but not much.
elsewhere: squash are massive, but apparently the longer you can leave them on the vine the better, parsnips still big, second crack at broad beans failed with what looks like bad rust, leeks a little small, tbh, salad at home pretty poor, cucumbers coming through, but not in huge numbers, cabbages doing okish but in a lull, PSB looking pretty healthy, fennel ok, i think that's it.
