Still not much of a summer but plenty to harvest

Still picking lots of the flat french beans -- and soon the runner beans will be ready too. One cougette plant seems to have died, but the others still going strong.

Picked the first sweetcorn and leeks.

Plenty of raspberries and blackberries - routinely picking one or two punnets every few days.

We had a complete 100% allotment meal (potatoes, carrots, beans, courgette, onions, leek and sweetcorn).

Back from holiday

Whilst we've been away there's been a few days of a heatwave then cooler, rainy weather. Lots of groth everywhere. Loads of french beans to pick, plus 3 very large courgettes.
