Courgette "Black Beauty" are doing well, had our first harvest today, a single Courgette coming in at 850g. They have put on loads of growth over the last few weeks.
Quite a few more flowers and fruit forming, so we should get a good few more over the next few weeks.
The Squash "Uchiki Kuri" are also doing well, starting to creep over the area where we had the garlic and broad beans.
We even have our first Uchiki Kuri forming on one of the plants.
We picked the last of the Broad Beans, Bunyards Exhibition as well today, only 188g but enough for another meal. Even though we didn't get many of the seeds to germinate, we still cropped nearly a kilo of beans (912g).
Speaking of Beans, the second batch of Climbing French Bean Cobra are coming along, still a little slow but they are getting there now.
The poly-tunnel has really filled up with tomatoes, marrows, and peppers.
And we have had a few tomatoes to add to salads and meals and are far sweeter than shop bought ones.
In the green house, the Thor F1 peppers are looking a little pale, so we are feeding them some fertilizer once a week to help them along. Lots of flowers and a few peppers growing on the plants.
Elsewhere around the Allotment, the Oca Tubers (Oxalis tuberosa) are getting bigger.
The sun flowers have got huge and we had to tie them to the Brassica Cage for support.
The Cabbages and Nero Di Toscana have got a little hit by the slugs & snails, but are bouncing back well. We might even be able to take a Cabbage or two in the next few weeks. Picked some more of the Nero as well today (462g)
The Beer Hops, have been very slow to grow this year, normally we would be harvesting around the end of August, but they have only now just started to flower, so it's going to be a late year for these as well.
