Tina C Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I picked broad beans at the weekend - the ones that were covered in blackfly a couple of months ago - they were scrumptious. As they were in a raised bed we only had enough for a starter for 2 with (home grown) tomaotes and a dressing. Will have to reassess the garden and see where I can grow more next year....

Guest Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 DS picked quite a few cherry tomatoes yesterday. Nothing else is ready, but the lettuces are growing well. No-one really likes lettuce, so I'm not sure why I'm growing it, but I'm sure the chickens will enjoy it anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Today I picked 8 slugs and threw each one over my shoulder and made a wish (that they land on a neighbouring allotment that just grows weeds). Potatoes, blackcurrants, redcurrants, loganberries, raspberries, onions, lettuces, radishes, victorian climbing peas, yellow ball and green cylindrical courgettes errrm I am sure there were other things but I can't remember.

Lesley Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 - hope the slug thing worked Dilly Impressive list - mine might read like that if I had time to stop and pick anything. I did manage to dig up potatoes and pick some peas so that we could all eat something yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Today I picked............. A handful of blackcurrants, not enough to do anything with so the hens had them and a handful of 'gone over' loganberries, guess who had those too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 More peas - and all the potatoes They have blight and it is spreading to the tomatoes I also picked another handful of plums off one of the new trees and 5 carrots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happymama Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I dug the last of my potatoes in the ground, about one third were soggy with the weather. We had them as chips for tea. The ones in pots are next, as they have less space than the ones in bags. Plus, then ones in bags look a lot healther, the potted ones are yellowing quite badly. My hanging toms are yellowing, too , but are flowering and now producing toms quite gamely, so am hoping... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I got back from two weeks holiday on Saturday so on Sunday we went to the allotment. Over half of our potatoes have got blight and the weeds have had a field day On a happier note, we picked 19 marrows and courgettes which are the size of marrows I think i need to make some chutney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
