Runner beans and greengages. Found a blousy gladioli which had snapped in the wind so brought it inside and popped it into a vase.

4 cucs, 2 tromba, 3 courgettes, DFB & CFB absolutely masses as I've been rained off picking three days running. Tomatoes big, medium and small. Later on this afternoon there will be chard for a friend and some beetroot that maybe I'll get round to cooking and pickling for P..... maybe not.

A few tomatoes and some white onions - pickling onion size. Probably my fault for not watering them during the dry spell!
Leaving picking beans etc until tomorrow because it Day 1 Rationing and I want to be sure of something to eat. Big Grin

Tomatoes starting to trickle in steadily now. Does anyone else find the first few tomatoes from a plant always taste a bit rubbish? They've improved massively in flavour over the past week or so.

Is it also that we tend to scrump the first few perhaps a little before their optimum ripeness because we're eager to taste the first tomatoes, then later on when they're in full flush we can afford to let them really ripen up on the plant.  I've noticed that on the windowsill Red Robin, the first few are watery and tasteless and usually a disappointment whereas others left to ripen properly are much better.

Mangetout, 5 x Courgettes (at last) 2 stray potatoes, 3 stray beans (climbing up a dahlia in a pot) and 3 red gooseberries lurking under a bramble cane - must have been enough to keep the birds at bay.
