The above is what we are currently harvesting every 2-3 days from our garden. The tomatoes on the left are Sun Baby, Garden Pearl and Gardeners Delight. Garden Pearl are our favourites, with thin skins and a lovely sweet flavour. Apparently they are "ideal for hanging baskets". Well ours are about 5ft tall and laden with fruit! I have had to nip out the tops as they have reached the top of our fence! The cayenne chillis are ripening much faster than Graeme can eat them so some are now drying in the airing cupboard. We are still waiting for the other chilli varieties to ripen...
Down the allotment today we harvested this:
A steady number of beans (only runner beans today), plus a couple of courgettes and the first of the allotment tomatoes - 2 Gardeners Delight and one beefsteak variety Marmande.
Whilst out on a bike-ride we took a trip down memory-lane and visited our old allotment that we had back in 2009-2011:
The plot is completely overgrown and looks like it may not have been cultivated since we gave it up. On closer inspection I noticed that the very invasive weed mares tail had also moved in. We did manage to pilfer a few Autumn Bliss raspberries off the plot though!
