Some potatoes. I really enjoy harvesting spuds. It’s like treasure hunting.

The last few days, charlottes, kale, herbs, toms, cucs, radishes and lots of lettuce.

My best ever carrot

That is indeed a very fine carrot, let's hope he has friends you can pull.

I've picked beans this morning and sqished blackfly religiously. It's taken all morning.
Beens collected
CFB hunter and fasold.
I collected some each of the DFBs I wasn't going to bother with to experiment on taste. Wanna bet they all taste the same
Tendergreen, Opera, Slenderette, Ferrari, Aquilon

Not that many Jen, hopefully next year. 

It's the first year growing in a deep planter and I've learnt(hopefully) from my mistakes.

I have carrot envy.

Any tips Danny?

I feel rather honoured that you've asked me for a tip Bren

The upsidedown planter was layered using cardboard, leaves, manure, spent compost, and grass cuttings. (Not in that order) That's all I've got to offer really. 

I did not use any netting.

I was really demotivated given the germination rate however that 1 carrot has made me even more determined for next year

More potatoes, purple ones this time. Don’t remember the variety. and a strawberry.
