Changing seasons / overdue update

Things "ticking over" at the allotment at the moment, but we are feeling the change of seasons already. The purple beans have largely finished, supplanted by the green French beans (Blue Lake) and the pumpkins are starting to look fully grown if green. The courgettes are still producing (7 this week?) and we have started getting our autumn fruiting raspberries though they are not really going fill swing yet. Today's harvest was pretty modest:

... but it has only been 48 hours since the last visit. One interesting thing this year is our new apple tree seems to be doing well, though if it is a "Golden Delicious" it is of dubious provenance:

That said, the apples are looking pretty good, particularly for a first season:

Very much looking forward to eating some, though currently a little small at around 50mm across...
