Bed #5 / Harvesting

So, put in another bed at the allotment - this time for strawberries and lettuce (and probably other things) - same drill as usual except this time we have a cover:

By a happy accident the covers are about 3m long and our beds are ... 3m long. Harvesting wise we've been getting lettuce slightly faster than we can eat them - one from yesterday:

As well as many cucurbits - cucumbers and courgettes / summer squash mostly - and yellow ones from the funky veg kits which make a nice change:

Turns out we left these a bit long on the plant - crystal lemon cucumber - but they are still pretty good - have many smaller ones which we'll harvest smaller next time. We also have regular cucumbers (burpless tasty - look like snozcumbers!)

And of course the dreaded courgettes 🙂which we're harvesting at the rate of a couple a day...
