More pears

3 tiny pumpkins the size of a 50p

Raspberries and a few toms, still waiting for the last few to ripen.

I'm harvesting beans ATM, or more precisely shucking dried beans

PS
I love the feel of putting my hands in a bowl full of dried beans, am I weird? Answers on a postcard.......

I love the surprise element of popping beans out of their pods - guessing how many there are and what colour they'll be...............and I'm not weird.

I've harvested a cucumber, tomatoes and apples - and lots of montbretia corms but they don't count as a crop!

A few pods of Soisson climbing french beans, mainly for seeds next year. Also another bucket of weeds, mainly buttercup for the composter.

I've become reasonably adept at guessing the colour/breed of bean likely to come out of the pods, having been (bean) a complete novice. ........how do you know you're not weird?
Can you eat monbretia? Probably not, but I wonder if anybody's tried

Harvested some of the mini squashes and some runners to shell the beans. Plenty more to go!

Raspberries and salad stuff, mixed lettuce, basil chard and toms. Then some thyme to go in the dumplings.

Raspberries for my breakfast, tomatoes for lunch and apples.
