Update

Dug up some parsnips - the foliage looks a bit sorry for itself but the roots were massive. Cut a cabbage, and x-ed the stalk to see if anything grows as a result. Late green beans are delivering in ok numbers but not massive, no signs of the romanescos delivering heads yet although they are pretty solid plants - we took the covers off the brassicas last week - there are some white flies buzzing around the brassicas but they are fairly few. One fennel left, it's quite big. Had 3 decent fennel already. Leeks a bit rusty, which might be a bit of a concern. What's left of the Cherokees look like they'll be good for planting next year, lots of borlottos still on the vine but a lot of the ones we picked already seem to have been too early so I'm leaving them for now. Picked all the Squash, cucumbers still doing ok - picked three in the last couple of days, two left.
