Rich pickings....

Today we harvested this fine selection of veg from plot 4. The first of our pumpkins is ripe and the pumpkin patch spreads over an area approximately 900 sq ft. The 2 large marrows are products of our courgette plants, which are so prolific that they seem to double in size overnight. We have a number of summer cabbages. These are a pointed variety called greyhound. Our beetroot has been slow to crop this year, but we are now pulling good size beets. The runner beans, which were not ready for the show last weekend, are now long and straight. The cucumber was a gift from a lottie neighbour. I am hoping come next season our greenhouse will mean many cucumbers of our own.
