Harvest Wednesday

Purple mangetouts "Shiraz", green mangetouts "Oregon", dwarf french bean "Purple Queen", courgette "Dundoo" and 3 strawberries! The strawberry plants have reached epic proportions but fruit production has been poor. Many of the flowers were caught by a late frost in April which could be part of the problem. However, there are more fruits developing so we remain hopeful!
Over the last week we have been picking "Garden Pearl" tomatoes as well as lettuce:
At least 3 or 4 trusses have set on each of the cordon tomatoes and we have lots of fruit. The first "Black Cherry" is ripening:
We also have some fruit on the chilli plants. This is "Cherry Bomb":
This is "Cherry Hot":
This is the first "Aji Wrecking Ball":
There are no fruits on the Cayenne Pepper plants but they are just coming into flower so it should'nt be too long. All the chillis and tomatoes are in the greenhouse which  now looks a bit jungly:
