Picked the first sweetcorn and it was lovelly.
Veg in full flood now. Plenty of potatoes, courgettes, cabbage, beans, onions, and tons more beetroot than we know what to do with.
Bought a new under-worktop freezer simply to fill up with produce - and nearly full already with raspberries, blackberries and beans.

Suddenly lots of raspberries and blackberries
Raspberries suddenly coming ripe, blackberries around plot also. Two pots of each picked and frozen already.
Courgettes doing well as ever - more than we can eat. Potatoes, beetroot also. Picked some carrots and not too bad.
Small lettuces I planted started to grow and have all been chopped off to within 1cm of ground ... dont know if thats pigeons (they were covered) or slugs (they were peletted) or something else.
Onions dug up completely, most back home, some left on ground to dry out.
Sweetcorn starting to turn - a few more weeks to go I think - hopefully of hot weather.
Likewise for the squashes ...many of the early set fruit have not taken off and shrivel up and die - presumably down to intermittent cold and damps patches of weather.
