    Massive and so delicious white cabbage. Weighed in at 2.7 after i cut all the outer leaves away. That will last us a good few meals

    Still picking red peppers outside not very healthy mind and i think the plants are dead but trying to use up the red ones.

    Loads and loads of mixed salad leaves, really enjoying mizuna and different mustard leaves, first time i have grown them and on the must sow list. Just have far too many now. Along with red spinach, love it.

            Feeling very chuffed with my self both tomatoes and courgettes were a experiment, maybe it won't work for next year as it has been so very mild even night times. But have learnt and hopefully will do the same year after year.

            Will go and tackle the winds and harvest loads of broccoli (calabrese) as some are starting to bolt

              Several cara "jacket potato" spuds.

              Twas the first time I grew them last year, and this was my first harvest of them. A couple have holes in which is a shame but the rest seem unblemished (I'm too much of a slacker to store spuds in sacks). They weighed from 0.8 to 1.3 lb each and are a lovely big size. On the whole fairly satisfied

                      A lettuce (valmaine) from the grow light garden, a small handful of namenia, mizuna, chinese celery and komatsuna from outdoors and a snackbite orange pepper from my friend's greenhouse, along with the last of the green tomatoes. I decided given the forecast I had better pick them!

                      Oh, and I nearly forgot, a 7 inch long carrot (nantes frubund fastcrop) from one of my pots in the veggiemesh cage.

                              Kale, kale, kale! Just wanted to let you know, Mr Bones, that the Daubenton's cuttings you once so kindly sent me now occupy a whole corner of my allotment. I love the stuff - prolific and delicious.
