End of July

So here we are in the middle of Summer. Some of the crop has been picked, eaten or frozen. Here's some of what's still going.


Sweet corn - 30 plants in total in two locations. Should be ready for picking in about two weeks.



Red cabbage - 12 of them. This is one of the smaller ones. There's also some savoy cabbage doing well. All the cauliflowers were picked - delicious !



Onions out to dry. These did well this year, though we lost about 10% through some nasty root rot. We have red onions too. The garlic is not doing too well - must have got something wrong - gotta read the book !



Cucumber. This one is on the allotty, in a cold frame, and we have another back home in the greenhouse. Both are growing well, but this one is the best. Already had two giant cucumbers from it and it's still going strong. They are very tasty - sweeter than the shop ones.



Courgette. What can you say about them ? They go on and on producing vast numbers of fruit. They seem to be resistant to all of the usual bugs which smite the other stuff and look after themselves. We have some yellow (zuchini) ones growing too.
