The season of harvesting; the last of the borlotta beans, some to eat now , others dried for future months. The plants have cropped well and the beans taste so good that somehow we never manage to retain seeds for next year!

Empty beds are being cleared, weeds removed and the soil sieved.

The courgette plants were nearing their end of productivity, put paid to now by our first frost of the autumn.

The Uchiki kuri squash are awaiting collection and the Crown Prince have now been harvested. We hadn’t noticed one squash had grown within it’s collar (originally to protect the young seedling).

The companion nasturtium plants in one poly are still looking good, providing an extra salad ingredient, while some tomatoes are yet to ripen.

The celeriac are great; now all harvested, (a few seen here in a wheelbarrow), they’re the largest we’ve grown.

Again a worthwhile take-home box.
