Main harvest: allotment (mostly green)

We are continuing to harvest courgettes, runner beans and lettuce at a rate of knots - decided it would be fun to photograph for future reference some of the leaves of the lettuces:
These are each in excess of 9" across, two complete plants is something of the order of a cubic foot of lettuce. Then we got a load more courgettes:
Getting to feel like I have courgette-based nightmares (this is not the whole harvest for the day) however soup seems to finish them off satisfactorily. Then we have the beans:

Once again these are coming in thick 'n' fast - possibly at too great a rate to eat in real time. Star of the show today is however #1 squash:

Should be a bit bigger and more butternut squash shaped but we decided to harvest it as we have loads. Probably destined for a roasting.ƒ
